Federal prison officials are easing restrictions on American-born Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh, including allowing him to meet with people other than his attorneys or relatives.
U.S. Bureau of Prisons spokesman Dean Boyd says restrictions imposed on Lindh in March 2002 will expire Friday. Boyd says officials believe the perceived threat of Lindh's communications has diminished.
The 28-year-old Lindh is incarcerated at a medium-security federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., where he is serving a 20-year sentence for aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan. He was captured in November 2001 in the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan.
Lindh's San Francisco attorney, Jim Brosnahan, says he's pleased the restrictions are being lifted.

I posted an article a week ago about this and the fact that obama appointed his first lawyer to the DOJ.
The next step is a pardon. Just wait.
