Well, apparently Mr. Walker is a US citizen, who proudly proclaims himself a member of both the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Additionally, Mr. Walker apparently fought alongisde Taliban soldiers in a battle that resulted in US combat deaths. This seems to me like the very definition of treason to me. And even if he is not treason, as a member of the Taliban we should find him guilty of crimes against humanity. Take your pick.
