andsome Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 LET'S HOPE IT'S TRUE. Keep him alive and let the people try him. He should NOT be tried by the coalition or an international court. He should be tried by a jury consisting of Shiite Muslims and Kurds. :thumbup: :cheers2: :clapping: :lol2: :muha: :rockon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 BBC NewsI wonder if he will be tried under Shi'ite law....?As I've already suggested, in my opinion he should be tried by Shiite's and Kurds. Everyone else should keep out of it. I see that the traitor Galloway is still sticking up for him. He should be tried for treason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 I think that Galloway was attempting to make the point that his arrest will not make as much difference to terrorism that has been suggested...... he he..... what a beard , and a surprising cruddy hideout , considering the amount of time he had to prepare ....

Terryala Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 Oh agree people like that have to be stopped. But sure seems like it never ends as some one else will come along to take his place some where else.
