    Al Qaeda money? They have their own currency?
    I suppose you just go to the post office or any authorized drop box.

      They share the currency with a large chunk of Africa along with some other places, but this is their currency.

        Damn, those terrorists are smart. They chose just about the only form of currency that will increase in value when the economy goes to hell.

            i'll pm you the address. it is important to note that al qaeda only accepts donations in used notes. it is also worth bearing in mind, when considerating how much to send, that a small offering will only outrage allah (peace be upon him) and bring down his wrathful vengeance on the miserly and unrighteous.

              Who are they going to put on trial next: Bin Laden's grocer?

                  That doesn't really work, since Bin Laden's barber is clearly guilty of crimes against humanity.

                    I find this a tepid "victory" at best. The man was aquicted of every single charge that would have created any possible excuse for him being in Guantanamo and part of this highly questionable legal procedure. He could have been sent to a normal federal prison and had his day in a Federal court YEARS ago if all he was guilty of was dirving around Osama and being his bodyguard.

                      i believe that so far they have managed to convict someone who skinned monkeys ( ) in the vicinity of bin laden and now his driver. it's very hard to see the benefit to anyone in doing things this way.

                      the joke of it is, even if this guy had been acquitted of all charges, he would still have been kept in guantanamo bay because no other country will accept him.

                            Not really. Shrub has said he'll continue to hold him as an enemy combatant after he finishes his sentence.

                              So it's a show trial with no real legal significance.

                                That doesn't really work does it. I mean he's a citizen of a country the US is not at war with. Apart from the fact that from an international law-perspective his trial by an American military court on Guantanamo is a bit dubious, he can't be held anymore if he has served his sentence.
                                Besides, a driver being a prisoner of war is far-fetched anyway, but.. okay that's debatable.


                                Face it: the US and Bush in particular lost international credibility on Guantanamo. Better not cling onto it
