| Re: War On Terror Is A Joke Thanks dinosaur however I doubt even when the wars over he will be free again. The fact is he will be remmembered as the Bin Ladin driver if he does get out. Like past Nazi war criminals. |

Current Mood: | Re: War On Terror Is A Joke BBC link__ Quote: Osama Bin Laden's former driver has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison at the first US military trial in Guantanamo Bay.
Salim Hamdan was convicted on Wednesday of supporting terrorism, but acquitted of conspiracy to murder.
Prosecutors had demanded a sentence of not less than 30 years.
On time served Hamdan could be released in five months but the Pentagon has said he will still be retained as an "enemy combatant".
The US has always argued it can detain such people indefinitely, as long as its so-called war on terror continues.
The Pentagon said Hamdan would serve his sentence and then be eligible for review.

Before he was sentenced to 5½ years on a single count of aiding a terrorist, Hamdan addressed the court, speaking directly to the jury at times, though a translator. He thanked the anonymous military jurors who some news accounts portrayed as his enemies, and he apologized for the acts of his former boss, Osama bin Laden.

| Re: War On Terror Is A Joke The fact that rice is demanding a Russian withdrawl is hilarious. The bush administration is at a new low. Has Russia forced the United States out of Iraq or Afganistan. The fact is the war in Iraq threatens Irans security aswell does the war in Afganistan and Iran is an Ally of Russia. What russia needs to do is bargin with a withdrawl of Iraq and Afganistan for a withdrawl of Georgia. They also need to throw up a big wall. |

| Re: War On Terror Is A Joke I think he did not thank the Jurors. Due to the fact it sounds like American propoganda at its worst. However I am proud of him if he did. |

Our correspondent says Hamdan looked nervous as he walked in for sentencing but after hearing it, he told jurors: "I would like to apologise one more time to all the members and I would like to thank you for what you have done for me."
The judge, Navy Capt Keith Allred, told Hamdan: "I hope the day comes when you return to your wife and your daughters and your country."
Hamdan, who is aged about 40, smiled as he left court and said thank you to those in the room.
| The BBC has no reason to lie about this - the Brits are currently condemning the US for holding these prisoners and using torture to interrogate them. |
