Oh please. These freaks hate Israel no matter what anyone would or would not do.

Don't they know Dick Cheney is next in line?

U.S. District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee viewed the videotape Tuesday over defense objections, saying he wanted to observe Abu Ali's demeanor.

His attorneys want the confession thrown out. They argue that the 24-year-old falsely confessed after being tortured and whipped by the Saudis, and they say U.S. authorities were complicit in the torture. Prosecutors deny Abu Ali was mistreated.

What lie do you want to believe?
Bush I am fighting terrorism, and going after weapons of mass destruction. /Back at the ranch he is selling Pakistan 6 nuclear subs. Pakistan is a Muslim country that supports terrorism and treats Christians like animals.
Or the Saudis, They are also Muslim treat, Christians like animals and support Bin laden.
Hmmm...Tough choice.
