Just put the missiles in the trunk, will ya, Hamdan? And step on it -- Kola Boof is waiting.
"Military Jury Convicts Bin Laden's Driver on Some Charges in Guantanamo Terror Case," from FoxNews, August 6 (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE — A jury of six military officers at Guantanamo Bay reached a split verdict Wednesday in the war crimes trial of a former driver for Usama bin Laden, clearing him of some charges but convicting him of others that could send him to prison for life.The Pentagon-selected jury deliberated for about eight hours over three days before convicting Salim Hamdan of supporting terrorism. He was cleared of the conspiracy charge.
Hamdan, who faces a maximum life sentence, held his head in his hands and wept at the defense table after a Navy captain presiding over the jury read the sentence in a hilltop courtroom on this U.S. Navy base....
Hamdan was captured at a roadblock in southern Afghanistan in November 2001 and taken to Guantanamo in May 2002.
The military accused him of transporting missiles for Al Qaeda and helping bin Laden escape U.S. retribution following the Sept. 11 attacks by driving him around Afghanistan. Defense attorneys said he was merely a low-level bin Laden employee.

His defence was that he was just a low level
operative.
It must be true.

A low-level operative, just a driver.
No virgins for him when he goes. He wasn't a jihadist. It's on the record.

Low life employee, for a low life employer, doing a low life job. It just cannot get any lower than that.
Life in Prison= Employee Benefits.

I am still getting confused between Osama and Obama. I don't like Osma/Obama name, they are too close in sounding and spelling.
Not smart to think of voting for Osama - Obama.

Barack Hussein--tho' we mustn't call him Hussein--by any other name would be just as inane!

One is calculatingly inane--however urbane; the other is ruthlessly, cold-bloodly insane. Know which one or the other I'm talking about?

He's still an Enemy of the State, execute him.

It was not like this guy was hired by a government from the civilain sector to dive one of their laeders like Hitler's driver was.
This guy was a reliable terrorist who was close to Obama Bin Laden and he was promoted to be a trusted driver for Obama Bin Ladin.
