Matt B -

FACT - Habib was detained in Pakistan, by Pakistani intelligence. This is documented.

CONJECTURE - "They got whores to menstrate on us"
This is not documented & is soley the opinion of the accused, which according to some must be treated as absolute truth.

It's all well and good to go on about Manboobs Habib and the concept of innocent until proven guilty, but the reality could make the practicality of this concept very dangerous.

Who knows why the US didn't charge him? Perhaps to fully prosecute Habib they would have needed to reveal very important sources of intelligence that provide them with vital information about terrorists and their activities? Perhaps when weighed up the prosecution of Habib was not as important as protecting these sources? Does this mean that Habib is not dangerous? I wouldn't bet on it.

I don't care if he gets paid ten million dollars for his story, as long as he isn't allowed to do harm to this country. Perhaps all the lefties should treat this issue seriously instead of just using it as a weapon with which to bash the Howard government.

I'm wondering if anyone has read the L.A.R.K Program letter instituted by the Whitehouse. LARK means, Leftist Accomodation program for Religious Killers.

It's quite a laugh.
