Scumbag of the day

A few months ago I caught a doco on the ABC outlining the 'plight' of Mamdouh Habib. Afterwards I had the impression that whilst the man was an Osama T-Shirt wearing nut with the emotional maturity of a 6 year old, he probably wasn't dangerous.

I don't remember where I heard it first but the latest news articles are saying the same thing. He probably helped a pair of terrorists beat up an air crew and indirectly contributed to thousands of deaths.

what makes you so sure that his confessions werent coerced:

>> others there at that time claim he trained with al Qaida.

ehh i guess we'll never know what role mr habib truly played.

Jean what is your profile picture? It looks like a pair of crusty lips with a crusty tongue poking out but I'm sure it's meant to be some sort of fluffy toy? I'm so confused!

P.S. Come to my going-away party next Friday night! Be there or be Ska-ware! (square :p)
