'I don't think his mind was working'

Walker Lindh was among three truckloads of prisoners -- most of them wounded or dead -- who emerged or were taken from the basement on November 29.

Walker Lindh spent weeks on the USS Bataan, a Navy warship in the North Arabian Sea, being interrogated by U.S. investigators before he was transferred from the ship to a U.S. military post at Kandahar International Airport in Afghanistan. From there, he flew to the United States on January 23, a U.S. military source said.

His return to the United States was an emotional one for his parents, who spoke with reporters outside a federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, shortly after the January hearing.

"My love for him is unconditional and absolute, and I am grateful to God that he has been brought home to his family," Marilyn Walker said.

Under terms of his plea agreement, Walker Lindh cannot benefit financially from any telling of his story. He will also work with U.S. intelligence officials, telling them what he knows concerning the Taliban and al Qaeda.

Should he again associate with terrorists, he could be brought back into court, where he would be considered an enemy combatant, said U.S. Attorney Paul McNulty. In addition, Walker Lindh withdrew any claims he was mistreated while in U.S. military custody.

Brosnahan said his client would continue to study Arabic, the history of Islam and the Koran while in prison, and that he expected he would be able to serve out his term in a facility closer to his family, in Northern California.

Federal prosecutors have told the judge they have no objections to Walker Lindh's request to serve his prison time near his family.
