[Notes:SOT --HARRY SCHNEIDER/DEFENSE ATTORNEY] I would have to think that given the case that was put on…it had to be an unwelcome development for the prosecution.

USA AND Israel is Terror! Fuck OFF
stinky mother fucker
smelly bastard
Your such a propagandists.
If you actually follow the trail you would see he was freed of the charge of “accomplice to terrorism”. Ergo, even the court dont think what you, on and on, try to state.
And who in Afghanistan has not worked for the Taliban? Are gonna jail everyone that worked in Iraq when Saddam ruled?Context,again.
Repeating a lie over and over again dose not make it true, even if you think so. I think its clear to everyone reading this that you dont give a shit about justice.
once again you ignore the question, you havent enlightened everyone on how the americans do it better… and you dont know anything about the truth, you believe in what your told; so be a good little boy and flip to the discovery channel and gain some knowledge
he is in jail because he was the personal driver of bin laden and knowingly worked for a terrorist that has killed so many innocent people. aparently you want him to go free so he can find some other nice job working for the taliban or al queda. i guess you dont believe in being an accomplice to murder or 3000 plus murders. nice to know you dont mind have murdering terrorists released to help kill more people.
That is correct sir. All christ like people( christians) believe in the same thing its called the Bible. To call yourself a musslim you belive in the Koran. Many a Christians have also died in the name of Christ. Now, if you want to make it personal by calling me a fuck mook, then that shows me your intelligence. The first thing you do is get all angry and defenceive because you dont know how to deal with the truth. Eniightend?
so if all muslims are the same than your saying all christians are the same… if you support the american troops does that mean you support the crusade? Once again your stereotypical american intelligence just supports that your a fuck mook. Please enlighten everyone on how they send out a message or better yet “deal” with the taliban?
“…law abiding ones are worried about Americans…”
Ironic that by stating the opposite of what you probably meant, forgetting the word -not-, you where probably closer to the truth.
You wont get a trail stating 30+ years for having a 40mm, RGP, 12,7 or similar in your trunk. Like the last part of my last point, which you conveniently skipped, the weapons where more or less irrelevant to why he was at G. This trail was a joke if we are talking about justice, which you clearly are not.
so who are you talking about exactly there Skinny? you talking about our soldiers. you talking about how you think our soldiers are just over there walking around killing innocent people walking around on the street? please i would love to hear about the Americans killing at random. leave a good comment so we can all see YOU sound like an idiot.
umm guess what. in the States if you’re transporting explosives and missiles you WILL be arrested and thrown in jail for arms dealing. once again you have managed to compare two completely different things. nice job. and im sorry no you’re wrong on the secong part also. yes a lot of Iraqs do carry weapons for self defense but the law abiding ones are worried about Americans they are worried about insurgents killing their families or using their house as a hide out. and they dont keep missiles.
Funny how,if you transport weapons in the States youre just expressing you first amendment rights while if you do that in a close to anarchy third world country youre doing it to “kill Americans..”.Every Iraqi with a AK has to be a terrorist right?
The weapons transport is more or less irrelevant to hes trail.Its just a selling point for the prosecutors.Its because he drove Osama that he was at G,not the weapons.If this was a G worthy every middle east person would be sent to G. Context,dude.
B.S. all muslims use the same koran and believe the same shit. If the muslims were to take the holy city of Jerusalem it would UNITE the muslim world. My point is, we could cut heads off but we dont. Ya know why? Because we have better ways to deal with cave dewelling animals What does Hiroshima and Tehran have in common? Nothing yet!
what about all the americans that have killed innocent Iraqis? does that mean I should kick the shit out of evey american? please dont comment if your going to sound like an idiot
taliban/al-qaeda dont have anything to do with the government, there actions speak on their own not for all muslims.
Why do you think they cut there heads off for? because its the worst way anyone would want to die, so when they send a message to the americans they make it loud and clear; let the prisoners out or more heads are flying.
And no I dont support their actions just providing you with some information that your clearly unaware of
are you serious?? you’re comparing a relative who could have had nothing to do with anything or connection to Bin Laden and a driver for bin laden who was found with MISSILES and EXPLOSIVES in the car! are you really this stupid. oh so apparently transporting weapons to kill Americans isnt a crime either. do you know how stupid you just sounded. lemme guess how you’re gona defend him. probably something like he didnt know he was transporting weapons. common Lobos i wana hear your next gay excuse
Bush is right. he isnt our biggest problem right now. we have to deal with what is happening now. iraq is on the incline and it needs to stay that way and afghanistan seems to be declining a bit and we need to regain control of that. bin laden would definetly be a huge motivation boost for us if he was caught or killed and CIA and Special Forces are still searching but thats not our focus right now. think about how much easier it will be to find him with completely allied afghan and iraq.
No ones defending Bin Laden but the fact remains the guy was CIA all the way and they havent found him for a reason. You havent seen that clip where they had another conference where the reporter asked the progress on finding Bin laden to bush and bush said he’s not an important asset anymore. Why would bush say that after all the shit that bin laggin said supposedly huh?
It’s just nuts man and I’m not defending any of them same as the rest of us here and the ACLU as Bill O said last night. No one has sympathy for any of our enemies but this driver guy has about as much connections to terrorism as one of Bin ladens sons that cnn interviewed not long ago.
Yeah I agree. The only reason he “got” 5 years for hes “crimes” was because he had already spent 4,5 at Guantanamo.
Laws he was guilty of where written AFTER he was jailed/arrested “for them”?
LoL, now thats justice…
He was probably told to take this “deal”, the 5 years…, which would free the US Army for any counter sue because of unlawful jail time (4,5 Guantanamo), or be judged guilty “China style”, get 30+ and be forgotten after a while in Guantanamo limbo.
One that believes in justice for all?
And he didnt “conspire” anything with Osama Bin Laden. He was hes driver. This “trail” is just a big joke. Why is he on trail? Why dont we see other Bin Laden family members on trail if driving a criminal is a crime? Oh yeah, thats right, unlike this”cab driver”they have money and contacts with the Saudi King.
Just after 9/11 it was President Bush that let EVERY member of Bin Laden family in the US to leave the states before any questioning.
$ justice…
What would you folks rather have. 5 and a half years at Gitmo or your head cut off with a jack-knife. Taliban will cut your head off. Gee I wonder what the world would say if the Americans treated prisioners like that and aired it on ABC NBC CBS. Think the muslims would bark a little, when they saw there headless brothers at Gitmo . Just like home. No sex(get that in heaven), nice Cuban weather,3 meals a day (no pork) Get to pray 5 times a day. Just like home
