Posting History Of The American Taliban

from the your-internet-history-sticks-around dept

Okay, this one is just odd. It appears that John Philip Walker Lindh, better known as the "American Taliban" has a little history on the internet. Just a reminder that anything you post online may come back to haunt you some day. The Weekly Standard has put together a collection of a number of his usenet posts from when he was a kid. They're typical kid-discovering-usenet posts. Apparently, he used to be a hip-hop fan.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team
