Sheikh Omar appeared in court: HE'S LAUGHING AT US

The whole court system in Pakistan is a complete joke. Sheikh Omar was shopping for a wide screen t.v. on the black market when he should have been extradited to the U.S. for the kidnapping in 1994.

The U.S. better not let up on this, although at this point, the only sure hope for justice is an exploding cell phone courtesy of Daniel Pearl's brothers.

[rebdov]

He knows too much about the Pakistani regime to be extradited. He'll reveal too much about Musharaff.

I say, grab the Pak nukes while we can. They are not our friends.

Looks like the sort of setting where people like him get assassinated. Uncontrolled. Karachi is big & nasty place-violent town. I don't think he will live long. There's a cop in the picture with auto pistol drawn-looks like a Berreta.

[TEXICAN II]

Aint noooobody our friends except the British & the Israelis. A few others share our interests.

[grumpster-dumpster]

His stand is that he cannot be tried in the same case in the United States because nobody can be subjected to double jeopardy under the Americans' own law. He says that the Americans are working to try him in the same case.

Hey, Omar! You can't be tried twice for the same crime in an American Court! You ain't in one...yet!

[Dengar01]

They should just suffocate him with the dirty filthy towel around his head, brings a new meaning to the word "towel head".

True. By allowing a public airing of his being nailed by the taxi driver, his guilt is being established though you would agree?. I don't think he's laughing I think he's gotta be nervous. I still hope he will be extradicted.

Bump.

The Aussies. They're a damn tough bunch too.

If there's any place in the world where the innovate, adapt, and overcome "cowboy" mentality is prominent besides the US, it's Australia.

[donozark]

Well said. Pip pip and all that. The Aussies have fought along side us in every war in the 20th Century. Now looks like they will repeat this tradition in the new Century. Ya gotta love em'! And man can those girls down-under hold their beer!

I do regret they surrendered their personal arms so easily after that moron on Tasmania killed all those people. Idiots everywhere, not just in USA...

They didn't do it easily!

They've got some taxation problems too, but the pendulum swings.

I love OZ's, but so many of them are also infected with the commie disease. I had to ban one of them from my chatroom on IRC.

HE'S LAUGHING AT US

He's continued his cocky attitude ever since he swaggered into the police station a few weeks ago to "turn himself in." He was fresh from a weeks' stay at the villa of an ISI Commander--where he originally "turned himself in."

The guy has some serious muscle behind him when you look at the pro-Al Qaeda history of the Pakistan Inter-Service Intelligence Directorate (ISI).

BTW, looks like the Paki Press is also having some fun with the Western infidel reader. Sheikh Omar is given four differenct handles in this little 300+ word article--and the "Related Links" frame is packed with a couple of other Omars just to add to the carefully orchestrated confusion.

Even seasoned news-readers will find it a bit difficult picking their way thru this confusing thicket.

You mean the Land Down Under-where they took all the gun? Great place. Only crooks have weapons. You can have it, I'll take a cowboy mentality anytime, anywhere but, no thanks.

No, they didn't take all the guns. And just like here, the leftists in government always grab more control when given the opportunity.

They talk about our drug war as if we were fascists (well, I guess the WOD is fascist).

Regardless, the point was that like the Brits and Israelis, the Aussies will always be with us.

They often say similar stuff about us. After all, we have elected socialists in our Congress. We have communist organizations all over the US.

The lefties are everywhere. Don't let one appearance cloud your opinion of an entire nation of immigrants.

WRONG!

While in the Navy, I sat through lectures by JAG Corps types that explained that Virginia or California could try a serviceman for a crime commited off base and, if an O.J. jury let the obviously guilty b@astard off, the Navy could prosecute the same crime under the UCMJ without violating the double jeapardy rule because the case would be tried by different sovereigns.

Pakistan and the United States are definitely "different sovereigns". Let him keep laughing. The last laugh will be on Omar.

[Polybius]

You can't be tried twice for the same crime in an American Court!

Sometimes you can See #17.

My myopic view just omitted them from any projection of power & world events. I was very unhappy to read this last week on FR, they had sold an aircraft carrier to the Chi-Coms, who promptly scrapped it! Who knows, details may be wrong. I just think we can't really count on very many other nations for what is about to unfold. This will get very big, very, very big.

Domestic issues aside, Mr. Bush will do what needs to be done-he may hesitate, but I think public pressure & his own instincts will make things happen. There also may be bigger fish to fry & that particular rag-head may just have to hang loose for a while-but he probaly will hang some where!
