Hot chips helped calm Bin Laden driver – Reuters
Guantanamo Bay (Reuters Published: July 26, 2008, 23:25) : Hot McDonald’s french fries and a call home encouraged Salim Hamdan to cooperate under interrogation, but Osama Bin Laden’s driver did not like cold fries and isolation upset him, witnesses said at his war crimes trial on Friday….
He is facing charges of conspiracy and providing material support for terrorism in the first US war crimes trial since the Second World War. Prosecutors are relying largely on Hamdan’sQaida. statements during interrogations in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay during more than six years of captivity in an attempt to show he was an active, important supporter of Bin Laden and Al
…Hamdan was one of several drivers for Al Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden. Prosecutors say he was captured in Afghanistan at the wheel of a car with two surface-to-air missiles.
OK!!!
So the US is conducting… as they put it…US war crimes trials, against those they captured in Afghanistan.
war effing crimes?!??!!
and so now these “enemy combatants” are being put on trial for “War effing crimes”… and what about the close to a million Iraqis killed by leaders of the free world? Well OK.. when there’s war, people die. That makes sense. 1 million Iraqis against 4000 Americans.
Kinda puts the value of non-American lives in today’s times into focus. About 250 Iraqis for 1 American. and we aren’t even talking about Afghanistan yet, where innocent civilians are being killed every day in air strikes and other wise.
Actually, whats interesting about Afghanistan is, every other day, American and coalition troops conduct helicopter strikes in afghan weddings. Yes, that’s true. Afghan weddings are being targeted now. And one might say, that cant possibly be possible. But the truth of the matter is, Americans, the ignorant idiots that they are, often mistake the gunfire that is customary to afghan celebrations, a part of their culture actually, for an attack, and off they go, killing children, women, and innocent men. All for just attending a wedding.
How’s THAT for war crimes?
