Wash. Post ^ | April 28, 2007 | Dafna Linzer

An Iraqi man accused of being a key aide to Osama bin Laden and a top leader of al-Qaeda was arrested late last year on his way to Iraq and handed over to the CIA, the Pentagon announced yesterday, in what became the first secret overseas detention since President Bush acknowledged the existence of such a program last September.

He spent 15 years in Afghanistan as a trainer and planner beginning in the early 1990s, the Pentagon said. Before leaving his home country to join al-Qaeda's Islamic movement, al-Iraqi served in Saddam Hussein's military, rising to the rank of major.

The officials, who agreed to discuss limited aspects of the case on the condition of anonymity, said as many as five countries provided information that led to al-Iraqi's capture.

I’m so damn sick of the lying weasels that keep repeating “no connections to terrorism” bullshit.

The more worrying question, for me, is how many treasonous animals agree with “Human Rights Watch” -—

I love it when people say Saddam wasn’t involved with 9/11.

Maybe he didn’t directly plan it but he gave Al Queda food, money and shelter.

I asked a braindead liberal if I commited a crime and he hid me, gave me money and food wouldn’t he still be guilty of abetting even though he didn’t help me do the deed?

... al-Iraqi served in Saddam Hussein’s military, rising to the rank of major.

Then years with Al-Qaeda becoming one of Ben-Laden's key players. But wait a minute he was captured late last year and only now we find out about his capture and transfer to Gitmo. Which means all you weenie liberal types he was held in confinement overseas, and gasp ... probably tortured ... OMG. How cruel.

That is a reasonable surmise.

I’d like an hour alone with him. All I need are matches, a candle and a pair of needle nose pliars. He’ll talk.

"Damn...I just had a thought...could he have been plucked from Somalia or Kenya?"

Who was the bogey we caught on a ship trying to enter Basra?

Just talking isn’t enough. You want the truth.

To get the truth you need some Ecstasy/X/E (or more powerful drug) plus a little NO2 in the air, some caffeine in his water, some really good music, and a pretty girl.

With the right dosage I’d have him giving up the combination to the safe that held his own mother’s soul.

The islamists use terror as one method to win their goal and the democRATS to voice their propaganda. If we do not win this War on Terrorists, they will win and continue to hold power by terror. Look what they did in Aphfaganistan. The women and girls brutilized, boys who lost games, maimed, men who disagreed, tortured and eventually killed. democRATS may think these are peace loving terrorists, but I don’t think they are. VietNam’s end will look like a Sunday School picnic compared to what the islamists are capable of.

Why aren’t we releasing this $#^%$#&%^ so that he can kill more Americans and give the CRAT more ammunition to the STUPID American voting public that we have no business being the most powerful country on the planet... we need to give our adversaries an equal chance....as far as the CRAT is concerned.

Don’t worry, I’ll get the truth doing it my way. At first he’ll just be talking, but before long he’ll be spilling the beans.
