max max max... IS THIS YOUR conclusion above? Explain once and for all, HOW do you read the news, WHAT news do you read and what exactly too much literal is? Candle, assure that you cross all t's and dot all them i's. IF NOT---- hmmmmm max and his cronies will immediately dismiss all you say for skipping a comma. wait! wasn't there another thread and same pissing contests going on? ok ok ok. I know you like getting under people's skin
You are such a lovely and clear thinking (albeit loudmouthed) fellow Candletwit that I would be happy to pay your trip to Pakistan so that you can go and negotiate on our behalf with the islamic extremists. I think we shall start off with a oneway ticket just in case you become enamoured with their way of life and have no desire to return. freealways
ok you are good sport I'll go easy on ya. same side of the pond and all But but but did we? Did we REALLY capture him?? SOMEONE NEEDS to get the story straight. Either US or the Pakistanies. Nice pr tho, many complained about Bush not doing enough on terrorism and there you have it. One dead terrorsit to be interrogated. Sooooooooooooo who's story is correct? Interrogating the dead Al-Qaida, or Are we Stupid? Unfortunately, while the coalition is claiming success, there is a run for taking the credit. The American version of the news from likes of CNN, Foxnews, MSNBC hardly mentions the Pakistani role and makes it sound like Sheikh Khalid Muhammad was captured somewhere in Texas, not from Rawalpindi. The Pakistani version earlier claimed this to be a joint operation but now it is claimed to be 100% Pakistani operation (News Link Mar 3, 2003). The contradictions do not stop here. Americans claim that Sheikh Khalid Muhammad is in their custody and is now being interrogated for the second day. Whereas, the Pakistanis are saying that he has not been extradited to any country. Furthermre, it is being said that Sheikh Khalid will be extradited to Kuwait. So, who is the real man? A more troubling problem is that it was reported by both American and Pakistani authorities back in September 2002 that Sheikh Khalid Muhammad was killed in a raid. The reason we remember him vividly was the way his death was dramatized. He was reported as writing words on a wall with his own blood as he was dying ( News Link Sept 15, 2002). http://www.paknews.com/editorials.p...ate1=2003-03-04 Let's get the friggin facts straight. BTW are the Pakis still our friends? hmmmmmm
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/US/mohammed_talks_030305.html According to Pakistani and U.S. officials, Mohammed is beginning to crack after three days of unspecified rough treatment by Pakistani interrogators. "If you are dealing with a terrorist you hardly go to them with a rose and a bowl of soup and say you come with good intentions," Pakistani Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat told ABCNEWS in Islamabad. "He is holding out, but I don't think he'll be able to hold out much longer," Hayat said. "There is always an end to human endurance."
Kinda funny... terrorists interrogating a terrorist... we should stop calling the Pakistanis (and for that matter, the Saudis) our allies and we should simply bomb the bastids...
This just in: The ACLU and Amnesty International have lept to the defense of recently-captured Al Qaeda kingpin Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, charging that his civil rights have been violated and that he has been subject to cruel and unusual punishments such as hair-mussing and being forced to wear t-shirts with ridiculously large collars. ACLU representative Gavin Smeagol made the following statement: John Ashcroft is turning America into a police state and stripping away our civil liberties at an alarming pace. He's a very bad man. All Americans should fear John Ashcroft, he's ever so evil. I bet if John Ashcroft had a dog, he'd kick it, then deny it basic human rights. He just strikes me as the kind of guy who'd do that. When it was pointed out that Mohammed is in Pakistani custody and that John Ashcroft almost certainly has had nothing to do with the case so far, the ACLU representative pretended not to understand English, then hissed that "we hates the Ashcroftses, steals our precious he did."
