Lindh Reportedly Attacked in Prison
The AP is reporting that "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh may have been attacked in prison by a white supremacist inmate. Lindh is at Victorville, in California. The family is gagged, so we are dependent on the Bureau of Prisons for information. Here's what they have had to say so far: "Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman Dan Dunne said agency policy prohibits him from commenting on the details of an inmate's confinement."
An unnamed source who works at the prison said "Lindh was placed in the general prison population last month at his attorneys' request and was working as an orderly, cleaning indoors where guards could watch him....The source said Lindh had been in special housing similar to solitary confinement for his protection since Monday."
