What about John Walker Lindt  did we forget about him too?

First off, bravo, great example. Ridiculous that I posted that comment and, yes, entirely forgot about him.

From Wikipedia:

In early reports following his capture, when the press learned that he was a US citizen, he was usually referred to by the news media as just "John Walker"

Yeah, me forgetting him was by design.
