HeadlineAug 16, 2004

Lawyers for John Walker Lindh have called on the Justice Department to review his case following last week’s announcement that the U.S. may soon free Yaser Esam Hamdi. Lindh and Hamdi are both U.S. citizens who were captured in Afghanistan in 2001. Lindh was arrested and sentenced to a 20-year prison sentence. Hamdi was detained as an enemy combatant with no charges ever being filed against him.
