Buried far down in a report about the conviction of a Spanish al Qaeda cell leader is this nugget, which confirms what most reasonable people have suspected about the pan-Arab propaganda outlet al-Jazeera all along.
Alouny is one of the "journalists" who interviewed Osama bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks and subsequently, al-Jazeera has become virtually the only "news organization" on the al Qaeda press release list. This is a good start, but now the civilized world needs to get serious with the rest of the terrorist sympathizers and collaborators at al-Jazeera.

If that doesn't put Spainish citizens back on al Qaeda's list of "legitimate targets" nothing will.
Don't get me wrong - I'm glad they didn't kow-tow (again).

Of course, I'm sure there's some sort of appeals process.

The bastard will probably walk before all is said and done. The Spanish will blink before they have to face the wrath of the Muslims. Where is the courage of the Conquistador?

Damn the Conquistadors, where is El Cid? But even then, Cid had to deal with Spanish traitors who were willing to sell out to the slamotards. Apparently, siding with the enemy is a long-held tradition among many in Spain, which would explain their total lack of world-power status for the last couple hundred years.

Isn't it interestinting how the U.S. needs to discredit a news orgaiization that provides the "balance" in responsible journalism. The sad reality is how the U.S. obfuscates the public into believing that it stands for freedom; particularly freedom of speech!
Remember people, that it is of particular concern to the majority of Americans and to those on the outside of the red, white and blue walls, that the new Republic ideology represents a "if it doesn't conform - kill it" attitude. And it is this stance that destabilizes the security of the average American.

Ummm..."truth"...Alouny was convicted in a
Spanish court. Sorry to throw a cold dash of reality on your little conspiracy party and all...so, how does the "I hate America" schtick work with commie chicks?

I hate to rain on your "U.S. influences nobody" misconception, but there is a fabric of influence that spreads around the world.
Also, don't get me wrong, I love America, I just hate your government's foreign policy.

Unless you have evidence to show exactly how the US "influenced" this
Spanish judge when the US was unable to "influence" Spain out of running away from Iraq like frightened schoolgirls, then you're just spouting bullshit.
And I've heard the "I love America but hate your government" nonsense before. From people who like jeans and McD's but think that the US should roll over and accept terrorist attacks on our own soil as "punishment". I've got your McD's right here.
How does the "I love America, but hate its government" schtick work with jihadi chicks?

.... informed, non-FOX/CNN brainwashed, schoolgirls...I think you could learn something from them such as the reason behind Spain's refusal to join a unjustified, imperialistic, corporate war.
Also, your ignorance of U.S. foreign policy is apparent in your attitude. Whatever you do, don't read balanced journalism - you don't want a little thing like the truth to change your mind.

Umm, "truth" - Spain had already joined the Coalition war of self-defense and liberation. They ran like schoolgirls after the Madrid bombings. Your reply tells me that you endorse those bombings, or at least their effect on Spain. That should tell you something about yourself.
Much to your evident displeasure, the United States is morally justified in defending its citizens. And the effectiveness of that defense is why, since 9/11, the subhuman, mentally diseased jihadis have been meeting Allah in Afghanistan and Iraq rather than Manhattan and Shanksville.
BTW, how
did the US get that
Spanish judge to put Alouny in jail? You never quite got around to explaining that.
How does your implicit support of terrorists work with the burkah chicks?

You are correct insofar as the U.S. has a right to defend its citizens and as such, was completely validated in its war against Afganistan for harbouring Bin Laden.
However, that is where the moral justification ends. As has been well documented, there was no link between 9/11 and Iraq at that time and any claim otherwise, given the current activity in Iraq, is baseless.
"Implicit support of the terrorists"... very interesting considering that those words are used as reference to the U.S. around the world...
As for the chicks, according to your constant questioning, it sounds as though you want to meet some.

The US Constitution charges the government to protect the country. That doesn't just mean to wait for an enemy to attack and react, it also means to anticipate and pre-empt attacks.
Every filthy, mentally ill jihadi exterminated in Iraq is one less to trouble the world at large. The removal of Saddam and his sick brood is a bonus. Make no mistake, when you bemoan the US liberation of Iraq you're saying that it would have been just all right with you for the Hussein regime to continue.
But back to the point: how did the US make that
Spanish judge convict Alouny?
Does your support of Saddam and international jihad play well with the al Qaeda chicks in Montreal?

Truth: You narrow minded asshole. You have no idea of the larger senario. Until you do. Shut the fuck up. There is a reason we have forces in the middle east and Iraq was the best place to send them. Assholes like you need to be sent to the countries you defend. You are no use to real Americans.
As to the chicks. I doubt if you wish to meet chicks. I'm sure unwashed muslim men who don't know what toilet paper is is more to your liking.
TRUTH MY ASS. How dare you call yourself truth.
