if the hair tests come back saying he was in Afghanistan, I would suspect the truth is he was there getting marching orders from UBL.

Uh oh..... I see the mistake.

"Khalid al-Masri"

There is a high ranking AQ leader by the same name. The one in custody has the el- instead of the al- in his name.

There aren't many restrictions in the War on Terror. Live with it.

Boy the Germans have come a long way from that Aryan Ubermensch mindset.

DID YOU KNOW THIS?




Did you know that 47 countries have re-established their embassies in Iraq?


Did you know that the Iraqi government employs 1.2 million Iraqi people?


Did you know that 3100 schools have been renovated, 364 schools are under rehabilitation, 263 schools are now under construction and 38 new schools have been built in Iraq?


Did you know that Iraq’s higher educational structure consists of 20 Universities, 46 Institutes or colleges and 4 research centers?


Did you know that 25 Iraq students departed for the United States in January 2004 for the re-established Fulbright program?


Did you know that the Iraqi Navy is operational? They have 5- 100-foot patrol craft, 34 smaller vessels and a navel infantry regiment.


Did you know that Iraq’s Air Force consists of three operation squadrons, 9 reconnaissance and 3 US C-130 transport aircraft which operate day and night, and will soon add 16 UH-1 helicopters and 4 bell jet rangers?


Did you know that Iraq has a counter-terrorist unit and a Commando Battalion?


Did you know that the Iraqi Police Service has over 55,000 fully trained and equipped police officers?


Did you know that there are 5 Police Academies in Iraq that produce over 3500 new officers each 8 weeks?


Did you know there are more than 1100 building projects going on in Iraq? They include 364 schools, 67 public clinics, 15 hospitals, 83 railroad stations, 22 oil facilities, 93 water facilities and 69 electrical facilities.


Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations?


Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October?


Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%?


Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consist of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations?


Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004?


Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a recent televised debate recently?


OF COURSE WE DIDN’T KNOW!


WHY DIDN’T WE KNOW?—OUR MEDIA WOULDN’T TELL US! (FOX NEWS TOLD US ABOUT IT)


Because a Bush- hating media and Dumbocratic Party would rather see the world blow up than lose their power.


Instead of shouting these accomplishments from every rooftop, they would rather show photo’s of what a few perverted malcontent soldiers have done in prisons in many cases never disclosing the circumstances surrounding the events.


Instead of showing our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at presidential motorcades.


The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves only one purpose. It undermines the world’s perception of the United States and our soldiers.

While some are busy recruiting for valuable work, others are busy cover up their arses, shames and other valuables. Germans are very stingy and gossipy, which is a cousin of the looter and nazies.

"You are in a country where the laws don't apply to you."

And we really don't like sodium pentathol so we're going to beat the crap out of you for several weeks.

Yeah, the whole story is tight as a drum!

If the Germans believe this guy's story, then they are way beyond the lunatic stage. Maybe they ought to be consulting psychiatrists.

Hmmm...no actual suspects, questionable testimony, and absolutely no jurisdiction. Yep, that's an open and shut case against Uncle Sam.

Losers.
