Very short sighted. Everyone is guilty of something. We just haven't found out what it is yet.

I had a Catholic friend that was so good when he went to weekly confession he had to lie about his sins.

So I suppose he was guilty of lying...

Britain's Home Office said he was "not coming back to the UK" as its courts agreed he was a threat to security.
Not guilty in Jordan despite all the whinging liberals and their cohorts stating he wouldn't get a fair trial, kinda wrong there were they not?

AQ can spout all he likes about the West now we are not paying to support him and his tribe, one day he nay cross a border and get spotted by a drone, ours or Yank, not to bothered.

so - if (as you acknowledge) the trial was fair and he was found not guilty, why would you want him taken out by a drone? what exactly is this man guilty of to the extend that he should be assassinated?

He was on trial in Jordan for offences committed there not for inciting knob jobs to kill the non believers over here!

if we thought he was guilty of that - we could have put him on trial for it - (we still could) - he was here for long enough doing nothing... yet - we chose not to... probably because we didn't think we could make it stand up in court...

(and - from where I sit, you are the one on a forum inciting nutjobs to kill an innocent man....)

I just used to 'fess up. No point arguing on something you're admitting.

You didn't argue bout the penance??? Like you were bored with our fathers and shouldn't he have a bit more imagination or how harsh it was? Or beyond the normal tariff for a mere dip into veniality?

Every good Catholic knows it was Hail Marys' and decades of the rosary for anything extreme... :D

p.s: A decade of the rosary had the equivalent bragging rights of an ASBO... :wink:

Didn't see the point, when you could talk directly to the appeal judge. ;-)

No point arguing with the organ grinder (how apt).

I suspect one of the reasons we never put him on trial was the same reason why our local rag never publish the ethnicity of people involved in car crashes except if they are white Anglo saxons.
