If it didn't say the Sunday Telegraph I would swear this was an idea for a skit on Saturday Night Live!.....it is proof that truth is indeed stranger than fiction!

Thank you , thank you, for posting this.

That's the first place I burst out laughing.

Ken O'Keefe's insane ranting on Fox News was particularly entertaining. Anyone who saw him should have no doubt about the "messiah complex" the author described.

I missed him on Fox News but this story and his diary sure make you wonder if he's from the same mold as Tim McVeigh/John Mohammed. I never heard anything about their mothers. Makes me wonder. Check this quote from O'Keefe's diary.

"After leaving the US Marines in 1992, I lived in Hawaii where I became an environmental activist.
The Hawaiian people are thoroughly oppressed, but they became my true family;
I relate to them far better than to wealthy, white Westerners."

This guy's Al-Queada Bait for sure.

P.J. O'Rourke could devote a chapter in his next book to this.

Any news about Miss Germany? Was she successful in talking some sense into Saddam? LOL

Given the Iraqi government's sadistic inclinations, the German people better carefully check their weisswurst and other sausages in the months to come...

If I'm not mistaken, he was carrying a "passport" that declared him a "Citizen of the Planet Earth".

Damned one-worlders...

"Sue, I can let you have some of my prunes. If it would help."

Stick around for the bombs, and you won't need prunes.

"Dr Hashimi has explained that we help the population more by staying in the 'strategic sites'," he explained. His friend added: "We play football in the afternoons and the Iraqis bring us cartons of cigarettes. It's just like summer camp."

This brings new meaning to the term, "useful idiots."

I wonder what the terms of her will are.

I'd laugh, but I think you're onto something...

To be effective, a group needs a catchy name -- preferrably one that forms a good acronym. For the human shield organization, I recommend:
Strategic Human Insertion Team: Fostering Obstruction, Resistance, & Barriers, Rejecting American Interests, & National Security.

And a convenient cross-post of one of the fools, for posterity's sake...
