And Yemen is an ally? He''s still wanted by the FBI. What gives? There has got to be more to the story. So if one of our prisoners here, find faith and says I won''t kill nobody no more, we let his butt outta the joint?

I think we should send Scooter Libby over to Yemen and have him blow up a Mosque (hopefully one full of Mullahs).

Then Bush could pardon him again.

Not really... For all intensive purposes, Yemen is a lawless wasteland - which is precisely why radical Islamic groups like Al Queda gravitate towards it - kind of like Afghanistan under the Taliban. So having some kind of Yemeni figure set this guy free doesn''t really mean anything per se... they''re all just a bunch of terrorists slappin'' eachother on the back anyway...

Al Queda thrives in these kinds of places and/or those strictly Islamic gov''ts that support their efforts... they tend to have the GREATEST problems operating in Democracies - which is precisely why they''re so intent on an American defeat in Iraq... they don''t want a free Democratic Iraq, and CERTAINLY don''t want that kind of society to spread from such a strategically central place in the MiddleEast... unfortunately, liberals have joined their efforts - for different reasons, ie to defeat Bush & the Republicans - but they''ve joined them nonetheless...

Hmmm.... Does al Qaeda have a retirement plan for those who renounce the jihad? Hopefully it involves a bullet and a six foot deep hole.

This is a slap in the face if true.
