What do folk think? It mentions nothing about evidence, but the guy admits to being Bin Ladens driver for several years. Does this qualify for a possible life sentence?

Pathetic sham trial, but more than the other inmates have got.

America, upholding the principles of freedom if not the actualities.

War on Terror for a start. Do you have any proof that he wasn't in cahoots with laden? We're running 2 wars at the minute, one of them in Iraq to originally remove one of the main backers but since then, as you can hear daily, to help quash the terrorists in the country killing our boys.

Theres no proof of connection between Osama/AlQ and Sadam or Iraq.
Theres no WMD's

The invasionw as eventualy pinned on Sadam being a nasty person, well a nasty person with lots of oil.

Sorry you must be joking if you beleive that?!!?

1st - it was 45min from a WMD attack from Iraq, which seemed to vanish into thin air when we got there, and one of the guys 'responsible' for the info ended up in some 'iffy' suicide.
2nd - 'Proof' of mobile chemical weapons factories, via sat pics. Not yet found though.
3rd - Nuclear or chemical WMDs, somewhere. The only ones we've found we sold to them or the UN inspectors had already found.

Primary reason for invading Iraq turned out to be utter bullst. So they needed a fallback.

Oh 'Al qaeda' there we go, except there was no evidence of any link, and plenty to say Sadam and Osama didnt get on. There was evidence of training camps a long time ago way back, but nothing current or relevant. And we know al qaeda are holed up in Afganistan for the most part. So second 'reason' shot down.

3rd and final reason was for the good of the Iraqi peoples, as Sadam was some hisdeous mass murderer. I wonder how thats working out....

US army secured the Oil fields. Then the Oil ministry , leaving the ministries that could have WMD evidence to looters, and the hospitals etc.

The war was a total oil grab and I feel sory for servicemen who have been sent and injured there.

Bless him. He believes what Bush has been saying.

Mr Hussein and Iraq was invaded as he didn't do democracy, didn't agree with these modern human rights views, didn't buy as many weapons from the US, had lots of oil and importantly had a moustache.

So, the question is.... Is being Bin Laden's driver enough to warrant a potential lifetime in prison, not to mention time spent in Gitmo. They say he was instrumental in 9/11, but his attorney says he was merely a driver for x amount a month. I wonder what incentive x amount a month is to rather feed your family, over take the moral stand?

(On a sidenote, i thought Bin Lioner stated in his first little video, that he had nothing to do with 9/11, and in fact the next video didn't even have him in it? Is that a tinfoil theory, or did I actually see that somewhere? I thought I saw a video, and it wasn't Bin Laden in the thing?Feck knows. Too tired to bother looking).

I bet Cheney's driver has gone to Canada.

Was anybody expecting a "not guilty" smile Even in a non martial trial in the States unless you can afford the best lawyers and have money for your own investigaters and expert witnesses you are not gonna get aquited.

Rob i'm sorry to see you are a conspiracy theorist. The fact is that Bin Ladan is an Arab, Sadam was an Arab and the link is there to see. In this day and age I highly doubt our leaders would permit an illegal war and commit our boys to death on the back of some falsehood.... or would they
