	Can John Walker Be Stripped of His U.S. Citizenship? By Eugene Volokh
		Walker can claim he lost his citizenship as soon as the Taliban and the United States started fighting—there's precedent saying that "loss of nationality occur[s] immediately upon the commission of expatriating acts"—so he never had an opportunity to commit treason.
		Of course, if Walker was an al-Qaida member or participated in terrorist attacks, then denying his citizenship would just get him out of the frying pan of a treason trial and into the fire of a military tribunal.
		The showing that Walker would have to make to avoid loss of citizenship is probably less demanding.

		The sexual orientation of John Walker’s parents, like their liberal politics and their tolerant attitude toward child-rearing, did not cause Walker to join the Taliban.
		If Walker’s father is gay, and if the knowledge of that did have an affect on Walker, it would be society’s homophobia–not his father’s homosexuality–that contributed to Walker taking a path that will now result in grave consequences for himself and his family.
		Every influence and episode in Walker’s life in recent years should be and will be studied and dissected by the courts and by the media.

		The case of John Walker, the 20-year-old American recently discovered fighting for the Taliban, has fueled rhetorical excesses by the conservative commentariat.
		After all, Walker is but one single person, the only American yet found fighting against his country, while thousands of young people who grew up in the same era as Walker, some even with similar upbringings, are now part of the US military.
		Reports have indicated that Walker's parents supported what they called their son's "spiritual journey", but this is not enough evidence to assume that they encouraged him in every choice he made.

	IS JOHN WALKER LINDH A MANUFACTURED VILLIAN?

		The American war-party cannot transform Osama into the villain they need to justify a continued war into 50 other nations, and right on cue, John Walker Lindh shows, full of stories of death and destruction ready for the prime time network news.
