I would like to have 24 hours with this peace loving Islamic al_Queerdo. I would put him on IV Versed continuous infusion with enough morphine thrown in to really relax him!
Then videotape him with about 4 cameras to catch his responses to my questions! No torture! He would feel really great. Then switch off the Versed and up the Morpine dose until he is addicted. Fly him to the middle east and drop him off in alley with an neck tie telling who he is. Let his al_Queerdo buddies welcome him back into their viper den!
Apparently not....Having a phone with bin Laden's name displayed on the screen doesn't count as immediate evidence connecting him to al-Qaeda, according to this article:

MANILA, Philippines
Philippine authorities arrested Al-Ghozi on Jan. 15 in Manila's Quiapo district. His arrest led authorities two days later to more than a ton of explosives and 17 M-16 rifles in southern General Santos city. In the affidavits, al-Ghozi said those explosives were intended for attacks in Singapore. Al-Ghozi said his role with Jemaah Islamiyah was as an "errand boy, messenger or liaison officer." He said he was sent to Malaysia to meet the local leader of the group, Fais Bin Abu Bakar Bafana. He said Fais told him to visit the Philippines to "study the place and get contacts." |
Al-Ghozi said one of his "contacts," identified only as Muklis, brought him to Camp Abubakar, headquarters of the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front, where he spent a month in 1996 studying the Filipino language and weapons training. The camp has since been overran by the military, and the government has resumed peace talks with the MILF. "He (Muklis) told me that they have a program that is part of jihad, but they did not have any money and he asked me to help," Al-Ghozi said in his affidavit, written in Filipino. He said he passed on the request to Fais in Malaysia, who agreed to send money. Al-Ghozi said he withdrew $4,850 from a bank account under a different name in November 2000. Another man in Cebu city helped them buy 154 pounds of explosives, which they brought to Manila by boat. He said he later learned that the explosives were used in a series of bombings in Manila on Dec. 30, 2000 that killed 22 people. Al-Ghozi also said the explosives unearthed in the backyard of a house he built in General Santos were bought on Fais' orders "to be used in our struggle against the Singaporean government." The affidavits were presented by police lawyers to prosecutors who will conduct a preliminary investigation prior to filing of formal charges against Al-Ghozi. Singapore has arrested 13 militants who allegedly had been plotting to blow up the British, Israeli, Australian and U.S. embassies and other buildings in the wealthy Southeast Asian city-state. Al-Ghozi, also known as "Mike," has been identified by the 13 detainees as one of the group's ringleaders, Singapore has said. Philippine National Security Adviser Roilo Golez said reports from Singapore indicate the Jemaah Islamiyah has become "very active" and authorities are looking into the group's links in other Southeast Asian nations. On Friday, Philippine police arrested a Malaysian travel agent and seized 104 "questionable" Malaysian passports and $57,000 in cash at Manila's international airport. Azmi bin Salleh was as he prepared to board a flight to Kuwait with a stopover in Bangkok, Aviation Security chief Brig. Gen. Marcelo Ele said. Ele said bin Salleh also was carrying a map of Afghanistan and a cellphone with bin Laden's name displayed on the screen, but police had no immediate evidence to connect him to the al-Qaida network. |

We have sent some advisors to the Philippines, perhaps the Philippinos can send some advisors to Guantanamo?
MANILA, February 9 "The United States embassy have asked for the interrogation report and have asked permission to interview him," Ninoy Aquino International Airport security chief Marcelo Ele was quoted by the Philippine Daily Inquirer online news report as saying. Ele said the U.S. embassy also wants to scrutinize the 104 different passports, cellular phones and some 57,000 U.S. dollars seized from Azmi bin Salleh, who was arrested by the immigration authorities at the airport on Friday morning as he tried to board a flight bound for Kuwait via Bangkok. The 42-year-old Malaysian, who also reportedly possessed a map of Afghanistan, was suspected to be a member of the radical Muslim group Jemaah Islamiyah in southeast Asia with alleged links to the al-Qaeda network of Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect of the terror attacks in the United States on September 11 last year.

Last month in Manila, the authorities arrested an Indonesian national believed to be a leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah. The Indonesian, identified as Father Bohman Al-Ghozi, reportedly admitted that he was involved in a series of bombings in Metro Manila on December 30, 2000 that killed more than 10 people and wounded over 100 others. His arrest led to police's seizure of one ton of high explosives and more than a dozen rifles in the southern city of General Santos and the capture of his three Filipino cohorts later in the month. |
Consequences if a private firm fails to meet federal security standards: They lose their contract. Keep losing contracts and they go out of business.
Consequences of Federal Dept of Transportation security personel failing to meet federal security standards? You figure it out.
Is the terrorist equivalent of a flag lapel pin or just a big "KICK ME" sign?
