A father breaks his silence

Quote of the Day: Frank Lindh, Father of Former Taliban Fighter

"In simple terms, this is the story of a decent and honorable young man embarked on a spiritual quest. ... He certainly didn't go to Afghanistan to do anything against America. He never fired a gun at an American. He was simply rescued."

-- Frank Lindh, father of former Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh, an American now serving 20 years in federal prison after being captured in Afghanistan by U.S. troops in late 2001. He was quoted by the New York Times.
