Just got back in town and couldn't find this posted.

Not that this comes as any surprise to Freepers.

Just got back in town too and posted this on another thread: "Personally I believe Bin Ladin is ALIVE but in custody on an Island away from courts, lawyers and judges." Hmmmm, now he has company.

"an Island away from courts, lawyers and judges"

Sounds like Paradise to me!

[rwfromkansas]

I did not read this very closely at first and thought the headline said Bin Laden was there....then I read the story and realized it was "Bin Laden Aide."

Darn.

"an Island away from courts, lawyers and judges"

Sounds like Paradise to me!

I'll take a one-way ticket, please.

Interesting. I didn't think that Diego Garcia even had a brig. Maybe they put the guy in one of the seahuts down by the beach - where's he going to go?

There's a B-52 base there... I'm sure a brig can be easily made from other facilities there.

[strela]

Yup - they starting flying Buffs out of there after I transferred. It wouldn't take much to construct some sort of penal facility there.

[ricer1]

Crowley... I should know where that's at, but I can't place it...

[strela]

Its about 10 mi. south of Ft. Worth. Everybody gets it confused with the Crowley over in Louisiana.

About 5000 people in town, a bedroom community for Ft. Worth. We got our first McDonalds only 2 years ago.

Oh... ok. I think WBAP mentioned it on a rare occassion regarding weather forecasts. I just couldn't remember.

Wow... your 1st Macs!! Yeah, that's a good reference to gauge a town's size and prominence, huh?

Greenville just dedicated a big bronze statue to Audie Murphy (he grew up near here). I need to take a picture of it and do a thread about him. I guess that's Greenville's only claim to fame.

"Sounds like Paradise to me!"

LOL

[Dialup Llama]

How's the weather in Diego?

I hope bin Laden is in the bottom of a missile silo with the steel door slammed shut (Xfiles style) slowly going insane.

[ChadGore]

GOTCHYA !

[Vinomori]

Washington has vowed to bring bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders to justice for allegedly masterminding last year's attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Reuters is still writing from the far Left of nihilism on this. Too bad we can't put the Reuters staff on a little island for awhile and probe their journalistic "neutrality." There's nothing "alleged" about Bin Laden's masterminding.

[galt-jw]

well, if Bin Laden were captured, it might not serve the big picture to allow it to be known.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Interesting. I didn't think that Diego Garcia even had a brig.

I'm sure they have a septic tank.

All your base are belong to us!

[mikhailovich]

This wiener can continue economic losses to this nation every time he conjures up a future attack to his interrogators, falsely, out of sheer meanness.

I say call in the Japanese with a fresh supply of bamboo chutes.

[CJ Wolf]

Just who is this "big picture" and why are we serving them?
