105 year old Al Qaeda terrorist released

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Sunday November 10, 2002 15:39author by fuinseog Report this post to the editors

Here is the New York Times' description of Faiz Muhammad, one of the just-released Afghan men that a reporter visited on October 27: Babbling at times like a child, the partially deaf, shriveled old man was unable to answer simple questions. He struggled to complete sentences and strained to hear words that were shouted at him. His faded mind kept failing him. Muhammad told journalists that he was 105 but he appeared to be in his late seventies. His advanced age, and obvious senility, vividly belied the "enemy combatant" label. A second released detainee, who walked with the aid of a cane and was also thought to be in his late seventies, was equally unmartial in appearance and demeanor.

The person who posted this piece appears to be rather naive. Those terrorist suspects could just be pretending to be senile and in reality could be the brains behind many terrorist outrages around the world. At their respective ages, I am sure that the U.S. authorites did not regard them as active terrorists. The authorities in Washington are obviously following the excellent example of Mr. Sharon.

Nice one Des, let's all support a crazed war criminal in his attempt to suppress an entire people. If only we could all take a leaf out of Mr. Sharon's book then perhaps there wouldn't be enough people around to kill??? Des you are an idiot! At least that much is clear from your lunatic raving.

After a couple of hours of careful contemplation the only possible conclusion I can come to Des is that you are one sarcastic bastard.

Thank you very much, I am deeply moved and touched by your very kind comment. Just think, it only took you two days to work it out.
