Good grief. This is beyond simply stuck on stupid.

Yeah, they'll probably throw the book at 'em. Not the Koran - a Bible is ok, but never the Koran.

If there are no terrorists, who are the people chopping off heads for not being Islamic enough? Who are the people strapping bombs to their chests and blowing themselves up in crowded markets? I don't think it's anyone at Fox News...

I say we get rid of all the bomb-sniffing dogs, hell, all security at the Denver Convention. There are no terrorists, after all. What could possibly go wrong?

re: #33 wahabicorridor

It's lesser included charges, so they're probably hoping that they could avoid lengthier sentences. Still, there are some charges pending, so it may be for naught.

conspiring to cause explosions

The plea seems to leave out some major factors. Attempted murder, for one.

Sudanese president charged with genocide

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir was charged at the International Criminal Court in The Hague on Monday with genocide and crimes against humanity, with the indictment alleging he orchestrated the violence that has devastated his country's Darfur region and left hundreds of thousands dead.

Good news right?

Well, check the moonbat comments on the page...

I have no respect for the International Criminal Court. Unless and until the Court charges George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Condoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld with genocide and war crimes it is not doing its job. The war mongering begun by these thugs continues unchecked at the cost of world peace and security. Each one of these people is cleary guilty of crimes against humanity; will they ever be called to task and face the consequences of their reprehensible actions? I fear not.

Um, Constantine... if there are no terrorists, and everything is a false-flag operation, why are there insurgents in Iraq & Afghanistan killing Americans (and civilians)? Does it make any sense for the CIA to arm & direct thousands of phony terrorists to kill Americans thereby making the US invasion & conquest of Iraq all the more difficult? If the US is in Iraq to steal their oil, why would the CIA direct their phony terrorists to blow up pipelines? Doesn't really make much sense does it?

It's from the CBC. Many of my Canadian in-laws see Michael Moore as THE expert on American culture, always asking me what I thought of "Bowling for Columbine" or "Fahrenheit 9/11". They're always shocked when I tell them I haven't seen them, then trash Michael Moore like the shmuck that he is.

3 WOOD, or anyone else interested in responding.

I was looking at this link [Link: www.bloomberg.com...] from Drudge earlier.

"Citigroup's $1.1 Trillion of Mysterious Assets Shadows Earnings" is the headline of the story.

Obviously, Dubai International Capital has been in the news lately, so seeing the international investment is no surprise.

What has been weighing on my mind, in light of all the catastrophic earnings reporting, and seeing this story, what is the possibility of us tax-payers could be paying off the bad debt of said company's through a federal bail-out?

Moreover, giving the bail-out to another country who is perhaps hiding capital within the business, but hedging their bet against assuming the loss, riding the back of the American tax-payer?

I am asking because I can only speculate, but have not any true knowledge beyond general finance. Just look at my post, and this should be obvious.

I appreciate any response, albeit, I won't check again until about an hour from now.

I didn't see anything about any Dubai investments.

I assume that's the rule they're talking about as it was instituted post-Enton. Basically what it means is that you have to value your assets according to what they would fetch on the market that day.

The problem comes in when there is no market for your assets - then what are they worth?

More than likely, you're right. They'll do reduced time and then be released, but that is where the fun starts.
The UK won't be able to deport them, so they'll have to stay in the UK. Because of the terms of their release or their notoriety, they won't be able to work (home confinement, etc.), so the gove will put them on the dole. With multiple wives, children, etc., their incomes will rise.
So, they "work" in prison for 3 years and then get to retire on the taxpayer's expense. Good work if you can get it.

And they got inside, which is why 9 Marines were killed.

That explains much.

And emphasized why closing the gates at Hougomount was so important. (Waterloo - the French came through the gates at an importantly located farmhouse. Had the Brits not closed those gates, it could have been a different world.)

re: #9 buzzsawmonkey

He has a head?

He does, but given its current...um...southerly location the "imaginary" terrorists might have a hard time chopping it off.

They'll have to pull it out before they cut it off.

The three vermin who pleaded guilty have ,no doubt, done so because of the preponderent weight of evidence against them;in the forlorn hope that
they might be released sometime before they reach 60yrs.
I predict that they will receive a minimum of 30yrs(and their sojourn at HMP)will not be a pleasant one.
Accidents such as trapping their fingers in closing cell doors will no doubt occur with great regularity together with accidental scaldings.
They are likely to spend much time in solitary confinement apart from visits
from men in fancy dress(to attend to their spiritual needs).
I don't know who Constantine is; but he may be blogging from the interior of a padded cell (if he's not then that's where he belongs.)

I read the article in the Mail and nearly frothed at the mouth!
How the hell can you charge people with *conspire to cause public nuisance* when they are distributing videos threatening suicide bomb attacks on Britain. Thats terrorism.
Their defence that the small devices were going to be set around London to object to British foreign policy weren't meant to kill or cause injuries is pure unadulterated crap. Hydrogen peroxide bombs have been described as *powerful* and their list of targets (Parliament, Terminal 3, *iconoc* buildings (could mean historic) or oil refineries ) give the lie to their defense. You don't target buildings unless you intend to do real damage, especially if you want to be immortilised. That takes a big bang.
We'll have to wait to see if they get deported after any sentence. I hope so. NuLabour, the CPS and the judiciary - loony land.

Europeans are Continental Europe not mainland Britain. Don't count me as a European, I'm English!
Hello Wishbone!

re: #139 Is it me?

Wotcha!

They've pleaded guilty to lesser charges. Their defense was that the bombmaking and martyrdom videos were part of a publicity stunt and that they were making a propaganda video against Western imperialism.

Perhaps they will claim it was "satire" (see LGF's passim)

Yeah keep watching Fox News you lame brained sheep.THERE ARE NO TERRORISTS you idiots!These things are called false flag events are STAGED!They keep you afraid and stupid so your goverment can give you a harder buggering.9/11 and 7/7 were staged sheeple!Wake up.

Complete, utter rubbish from a person who probably is well-educated but can't think morally.

You're a fool Constantine -- a pathetic, miserable fool.

british moslems: abdulla, assad, tamvir, ibrahim, and umar.
england doesn't need these assholes. i don't care if they are 'citizens'. they are moslems first.

re: #52 CIA Reject

See my #28 - they aim to manage the information flow to the public and continue the jihad from prison.

Yep, after all the Brit prisons are probably only a virgin or two shy of Islamic Heaven.

Please don't be so racist. Just call him 'Tanvir.' Adding 'Hussain' only proves that you are pushing an islamophobic agenda.
