...and we are very glad that he is.
This is wrongheaded and reflexive.
The guy was actually smart and helped convinced the Pali's that they didn't need to execute Centanni. They googled up Centanni's name and had him placed at the scene of Uday and Kusay Hussien's termination and actually believed he was a US Gov't agent.
They were going to kill him and he talked them out of it. He also protected his friend by not letting him know about the pending execution so he wouldn't lose his composure.
i apologise for my fellow country men...
not all of us kiwis are cowards like that guy.
in that situation i would say to the islamo-fascist
'hey infidel, i am a citizen of western civilisation so screw you!'
