...morning before school. Then everything changed. He was in junior high, and his mom wanted him to take a drama class. She bribed him with $100. After that, it was commercials--his first onscreen performance was in an Atari ad--and TV shows like Blossom and Walker, Texas Ranger, then movies. His last year of formal schooling was ninth grade...
...tribunal empowered to sentence them to death be sent home instead to face British justice. Much of the British public doubts the fairness and legality of military tribunals and of the Guantanamo detentions; they want to know why Britons captured in Afghanistan are denied a civilian trial when John Walker Lindh was tried by a U.S. court; and they oppose capital punishment.

Britain (to fight the Irish Republican Army), Italy (to fight the Mafia) and many other countries have modified their courts to combat terrorists without depriving suspects of so many rights. Especially galling has been the way the Bush Administration treated John Walker Lindh, the so-called American Taliban. Even though he was captured fighting against coalition forces in Afghanistan, he was not deemed an "enemy combatant" like those in Guantánamo, but given the protection of U.S. courts.
