The arrest of Moh'd Saleh, a Plastinian aged 23

[Buck Birdseed]

Yes. I always doubt the official version of things. If this happened in my country there'd be formal inquries at the very least, not just casual dismissal.

You mean there was an enquiry every time the SAS blew away an IRA terrorist?

[Buck Birdseed]

Wrong country, honey. Sweden.

[notyoueither]

Ratz. I thought you were both UK.

In any event, if your country held an enquiry everytime a terrorist was killed by your police you'd be sillier than the Finns.

PS. I don't think even they are that silly.

It would be a whole lot simpler if we could see if he was dead in the picture with the bot. Anyone got the whole pic somewhere? I hate it when people make these "clarifications" without providing the originals.

Edit: even at the risk of starting a flamewar, I just have to say that I also hate it when people post emotional outbursts as arguments in matters where rational analysis is the only way of clearing up stuff. "Just end" indeed, "how would you feel" indeed, why the f@ck do we even bother if everything can be dismissed with self-righteous babble.
Not that I'm naming any names...

The question is still open Snapcase.

If Sweden found itself with a terrorist problem and people were blowing up school children, would you still be disturbed by the photos? Would you be questioning the motives of your police? Honestly?

No,people like you know. You just lie to yourself and pull off stunts like this to spread your lies. I suppose the bot and bomb straps pictures where missing?

Or unless ; you didnt want to put them here for some reason?

I'd say it's pretty clear that he's dead in the picture with the bot, because nobody is kneeling on his legs at that point.

[Jaakko]

A very good point, but now there'll always be doubt, since everyone is providing incomplete info to reinforce their case (not the posters, but those who originally made and forwarded the edited sets) . Reminds me of whatshisname in SMAC talking about those who withhold information...

Here is the entire series of pics for you.

[Jaakko]

Thanks, that's much better!

[mactbone]

To state the obvious.

Look at the wheels in pics one and three - now compare it to the wheels of the vehicle in pic 4. Either someone replaced the chrome wheels, or it's a different car. Not only that, but the people arresting the guy are obviously different from pics three to four.

DDs pics, while giving a clearer picture also fail to show when exactly the new vehicle and other personnel arriived.

Seen those pics before, been shocked, debated them with Siro, not been convinced by his arguments...

[Lonestar]

As always....


Here's what Snopes has to say.


Which boils down to "Unless a unbiased news agency can get ALL the pictures, we'll never no"

[notyoueither]

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this before, since it's obviously created so many knotted shorts.

OK. Perfect. So everybody is going to read into them exactly what they want to. I admit, when I saw the first 5 posted by Bugs the fifth hit me like a 2-by-4.

Then the explanation was provided of the bomb. Sorry, absolutely zero sympathy from this corner for terrorists of any flavour.

Now it's an Israeli conspiracy to beguile me. Great. On what faith am I to take it that the police of a democratic country are perpetrating such crimes and coverups?

And again. If this were happening in your own country, would you be questioning the actions of your police? Would you believe them, or the other guys?
