Son shown door after asking about Habib

[wtmusic]

Ahmed Habib wanted to send a message to George Bush about his father, Mamdouh, yesterday.

So when the US President was delivering his address to Parliament, the 18-year-old, whose father has been held without charge by the Americans in Cuba since late 2001, stood up in the public gallery.

"What about my father's rights?" he called out before security guards escorted him from Parliament, making him the only person removed during the address.

Highlighted quote:

'these people will be taken care of in a way that conforms with our rules and regulations.'

I guess Hitler could say the same thing.

2. I heard an interview with Habib's wife on BBC World Service

She said her son was grabbed by the arms, forced out and generally manhandled. She said (not an exact quote) "If this is what they are doing to my son, who just asked a question, can you imagine what they are doing to my husband in Guantanamo?"

Gave me chills listening to it.

3. "These people will be taken care of...

...in a way that conforms with our rules and regulations."
I thought the reason why they were being kept outside of the US was so they wouldn't have to be "taken care of in a way that conforms with our rules and regulations".

4. ahh, you have hit the question squarely

it is "what rules and regulations" are being used at Guantanamo?

They are certainly not the "rules and regulations" that govern the US - because those folks are on "foreign soil" and the press is muzzled.

5. When "they" say "our",

they aren't including *us*!

6. Just another lie....will they ever stop?

Wait for the mini series about the GW Bush Presidency. The Freepers will probably go beserk again!
