Well, he is a terrorist, right? So what does he expect - some kind of right to better treatment than what he is willing to dish out as a terrorist! What they only want to be known as terrorist, when they can inflict pain, sorrow and demoralization on others. If you want to be a terorist then I guess you have to accept the punishment you will receive if caught. Tough Crap! How bout we just string him up until he can't breathe anymore at all. Then he can pray to Allah that his early demise wasn't his fault and he can still have his virgins.

the point was that he was not a terrorist. He was taken off a bus on the way to the airport because he had blue and the police decided they could get a 3000 dollar reward for him- the CIA was paying Pakistani police to turn suspiscious looking people in for rewards. Who is a terrorist? Why were they looking in Pakistan? Afghanistan is where Osama was. They were just taking anybody and everybody- it did not matter...
