		lindh was given a choice between either pleading guilty or being declared an unlawful combatant and being detained forever–or at least until the government bothered to execute him.
		Mr Lindh wanted to learn the Arabic language and culture, to become, he thought, a better Muslim — so he went to Afghanistan (where Arabic is not the native or primary language) and took up with men who were practicing the religion of peace with AK-47s and bombs.

		After presenting a letter of introduction from HUM, LINDH told personnel at that facility that he was an American and that he wanted to go to the front lines to fight.
		In or about late May or June 2001, LINDH agreed to attend an al-Qaeda training camp for additional and extensive military training, knowing that America and its citizens were the enemies of Bin Laden and al-Qaeda and that a principal purpose of al-Qaeda was to fight and kill Americans.
