I was quoting Gnomon's post.

IMO the US continue to make themselves look more and more stupid. Now they have released video tapes they found of Mr. Big Nasty Bogeyman with the sound removed...for security reasons

This is such a joke.

There´s no business like show business.

they have taken the sound off untill they can dub something nice and incriminating or stuff it full of 'names' so that it will encourage persons of interest to bolt for safety

More information being given out by the US.

'.. Yet a senior but unnamed US intelligence official has told journalists in Washington they now believe the compound raided by US Navy Seals last Monday was an al-Qaeda command and control centre.

Wow, suddenly it's sounding more and more like they've saved the world with the bravery of their boys..

'...We've killed more terrorists on Pakistani soil than anywhere else, and that could not have been done without their co-operation. But there's more work to do. ..'

From Obama's interview with Andrew Marr

My opinion of Obama sinks ever lower. Hey Mr Leader of the Free World, one doesn't kill terrorists, one puts them on trial.

>>one doesn't kill terrorists, one puts them on trial<<

So who´ll be the judge, who´ll be the jury and who the accused?
One politician´s PR man´s terrorists are the other politician´s PR man´s freedom fighters.

Oh I don't know who'll be the judge and jury..but we managed to cobble something together here when IRA terrorists were busy exploding English civilians in pubs. And to be honest we made quite a pig's ear of it on occasion. And many years later some were released because justice wasn't done quite correctly. But at least the b*gge*s were still alive. And we stuck to the principles that are a mark of our culture even if we screwed up on occasion.

I'm still wondering who the 'mastermind' was behind 7/7 in London. When we find him..I hope to see him being bundled into the Old Bailey.

Old B? Tower! The Queen still has the right (I believe) to keep accused there for time "at her pleasure" - and I hope Tony Blah, our German Mrs. Mingle and a few others share the cell.

would require a major refit to bring the security up to standard

cost £££££££, better to keep them with the sort i look after, cheaper to
