James - Hold the horses here.
The dude refs to himself as a former fanatic not terrorist.
There are plenty of fanatics out there not commiting any crime, nor shud it be a crime to be a fanatical Christain, Muslim, or Environmentalist etc.
Similarly terrorism exists without Islam - IRA,ANC,UVF,Phineas Priesthood,UDA,ETA,KKK,Sea Sheppards - Need I go on.
There is nothing inherent in Islamic Theology that is a root of terrorism other than the common bond of all Terrorist organisations - They're Human!

"Eventually libby took a bullet for his bosses and now when he is facing jail time - "
Would you rather take a bullet for Bush or from Cheney?
Point though - Al Capone got done for taxes.

Ben - I've never been to a Cricket Test although I can appreciate that sitting in the sun & drinking all day is good. I just don't need that excuse.
I don't like Cricket - oh no - I hate it. apologies to 10cc
Surf Life Saving & Beach Volley Ball win out as spectator sports in Summer - even in CHCH - especially in CHCH (think of the weather)

"That is what is a circus about it. I'm not even referring to the ridiculous behaviour in the house, the gesturing, yelling over the top, falling asleep, yawning dramatically, slandering people etc. That's all normal human behaviour..."
Dear I say it - that is not NORMAL human behaviour and anywhere else will get you fired if not arrested and an ASBO (it's coming).
But Ben please don't link BZP (or other drugs) with the All Blacks in the same post - it's a cup year!
Aunty Helens started beneficary Bashing as well jumping in on a housing corp house eviction. How did the media get in on this again? And why?
John Key it's time to play that card. -
I/O - Good Call on Condi-Rice for 2012.
Where are racists & sexists going to go?
It’s bound to draw on some of the Democratic base regardless of politics.Do we need to mention the war - the American Civil War - Republicans freed the slaves along with other harsh economic measures enacted upon the South.
Democrats have a long history of racism as competing for the same jobs. -
Dubbya is THE PRINCE in every respect of that great cynic Machiavelli

You compare Mandela with Mugabe?A fair comparison for their initial role once gaining power.
The holding on till grim death is all Mugabe and reminiscent of the regime he took over from.

I like the tie back to America's (Domestic) Terrorist past.Craig
I agree, but all political/military organisations are a curate's egg.How about our resident Statesman to 'Terrorist' - Ahmed Zaoui?
Don't know what he got up to but in an election that makes Miami look fair - I'ld feel moved to act myself.
-
So often the 'Terrorist' becomes the statesmen.
How do you view Nelson Mandela? -
Don't all terrorists have at their core a legitimate grievence that history will eventually pove them right (if not rightous as we now celebrate the ANC)?
The IRA were disenfranchised from power/money etc in their own land, so too the ANC.
I strongly suspect this is the same in Birmingham, not to mention family passing on the unreported truth of what is happening back 'home'.
