However, it's the fact that SS violate the country's own laws and humanitarian agreements that generate so much concern. Even if you believe the Zionist-imperialist-American 'axis of evil' theory of Hamas and non-violent Gaza activists (look into Philip's work), which is your right, the Egyptian state shames itself when it abducts its own citizens and violates its own laws to terrorize opposition. <BR/><BR/>In short, the issue is less about whether Philip is a 'terrorist,' but about Egypt's illegal detentions and domestic terrorism. Everyone deserves a fair trial, in my opinion. There is of course the Guantanamo/war on terror theory, which 27 years of martial law rely on, but I don't think history has proven that very successful.James Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599472955267906725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35137734.post-86624976132657025702009-02-10T00:39:00.000+02:002009-02-10T00:39:00.000+02:00Maybe this will teach you half-breeds and foreign ...Maybe this will teach you half-breeds and foreign passport holders to stop rabble rousing and operating without any impunity!
