And on a related note, yesterday we released 4 more from Gitmo who were no longer considered a threat.

The maddness continues.

who has mysteriously gone missing from the British capital in recent days.

Since he's been consistently saying that his availability is "proof" of his innocence, his being missing sure reeks.

Since British citizens have no right to privacy, why was this man not surveilled, given that he is suspected in other terrorist attacks?

[An alleged leader of a radical Islamist group from Morocco which has been connected to both last week's Madrid bombings and suicide attacks in Casablanca last May is living in Britain....Mohammed al-Gerbouzi has shaken off repeated requests from Moroccan authorities who want to extradite him to face charges related to the 44 deaths caused by the Casablanca bombings. He has been based in Britain for 16 years.]

I submit this excerpt, along with the rest of your post, as prima facia evidence that socialists are naive, foolish, and suicidal.

"Whitehall sources said, however, that though they were aware the Moroccan authorities "take exception" to him, Britain has not been presented with sufficient evidence that he was involved in the Casablanca or Madrid bombings."

If he were a white supremacist or a holocaust denier, they would extradite him. I recently read about a non violent holocaust denier who was kicked out of the U.S for a hokey visa violation, and sent to Canada where he was wanted on hate charges. They called him a threat to national security. They then sent him to Germany where he is now in jail. It is beyond beleif that this man is in prison for life because of his words, but mad bombers walk freely on the streets of Europe.

One at a time by a small caliber in the back of the head and the arrogant cretins may begin to squirm in those filthy sheets.

Yep. It will certainly come to this in time. Islamist terrorism will only end following a reformation within Islam, this forced by a few decades of frontier justice meted out by a populace that will have had enough. After a few more major attacks, we'll be there. Only about 50-100,000 casualties to go, I would think.

Summary.

al-Gerbouzzi and his wife (who spells her name a little differently than her husband, adding a u before the e) have six children. They fled their home country because dad was wanted as a suspect in 12 terrorists attacks in Casablanca, killing 33, and for allegedly playing a large part in the terrorist attacks in Madrid, which killed 191 and injured or maimed over 1,500. When the press catches up with him, he says "I am not hiding from anyone," yet takes a "holiday" in light of the investigation into the train and bus bombings. He insists a mystery official in the Moroccan government is framing him, and that's why there's an international warrant on his head and allegations he trained in Afghanistan. His hero is a suspected terrorist cleric fighting deportation charges.
Working British people provide public housing for these hard working immigrants, free schooling for their kids and free medical and dental, along with money for food and clothing. al-Gerbouzzi supplements the welfare by importing cheap Islamic clothing and selling it or, or by importing bomb making components hidden inside the clothing. al-Gerbouzzi is now suspected of blowing up working Brits commuting to work so they could pay taxes to support al-Gerbouzzi and his large immigrant family. Even though al-Gerbouzzi is suspected in several other bombings and allegedly trained in Afghanistan, the Brits forego surveillance because the Moroccans didn't provide enough evidence. Now nearly 800 innocent working Brits are either injured or dead in a small nation dependent on public transportation.

After 911, I intellectualized, pondering our interventionism and oil politics along with connections between our government and the oppressive Saudis. I don't think I will ever get to the point of persecuting Muslim people, but at this point, I do not care what motivated these attacks. I don't care to ponder WHY or what their cause is. There was NO logical or strategic target here. It wasn't a politician, a police station, the military or upper crust power brokers. These were working class average folks with families, as the victims in Madrid were.
I still support gradual disengagement from terrorist breeding grounds, but I pray that all involved in this are extradited to Morocco. If the Brits get him, he will live rent free in prison and his wife and 6 kids will continue to live on welfare.

"Mr Gerbouzi accepts that he has visited Pakistan - to help deliver aid. He denies having been in Afghanistan."

If he's an international trader and has the money to fly around the world, and to willy nilly "deliver aid" to Pakistan, why is wife receiving welfare?

"In fact I have family in Istanbul, I stayed there for two weeks and traded in clothes. That's what I do."

Why does he need to travel to trade in clothing?
Can't he hire someone to buy, sell and ship for him?
When filling out the welfare forms, does his wife list that his income is equal to his travel and lodging expenses?
Does the British government allow him to write off those expenses?
Why be away from your wife and six children if you don't make enough money to be off the dole?
Wouldn't the man make more money being the groundskeeper at his mosque?
Is it possible the wife's last name differs from his by one letter because they are engaging in welfare fraud?

"Mr Gerbouzi said he was "shocked" when his name was linked to the Casablanca attacks and subsequently to the Madrid bombings."

If I blew up a bunch of people, I'd feel shock if I was caught too.

"In March last year, Spanish detectives investigating the bombing of commuter trains that killed 191 people, said that one of the suspects, Moroccan called Jamal Zougham, 31, made telephone calls to a landline and mobile telephone line in London belonging to al-Gerbouzi."

I left it at the restaurant after a family dinner. Someone must have stolen it.

'50 Israelis have not made contact'

Was this snipped? Can someone post the context, because the paragraphs before and after don't apply to Israelis.

It may come to that. At least, you would think that the professionals could sort between those who require a bullet and those who are given refugee status. Lower the bullet requirements and raise the refugee requirements, for a start.

The philosophy of the UK security services as I understand it, formed by the long secret war against the IRA, is that it's much better to let them run around, shoot their mouths off, organise and feel safe as long as you can watch them.

The proof of this will be in whether there are early arrests, or more likely, SAS'ings.
