he's already " disappeared "
into chinese custody probably
but might be at the bottom of some pilings for a new mega bank structure in hong kong

watch your back mate !!

He may be too fat to fit through a plane door but he could go back on a boat if he wanted to.

Severely listing to starb'd cap'n!

It probably would have been better if she had perhaps listened to the same shit he churns out at every interview and maybe had some sane, intelligent counter-arguments for his wanky doggerel.

This; although she called him on a couple of points I thought she gave him an extraordinarily easy ride. Paxman would have shit his pants if he was listening.

How long before this guy is dead or insane?

He's probably already been renditioned and currently sitting in a shipping container having his fingernails pulled out by some macho redneck.

Good news:

The Foot Down

**Edit - forget that. He's not going anywhere apparently....

"People keep saying mean things about me on Facebook"

ha!

Not sure it makes me want a t-shirt though. Maybe if it actually had that on it.

I expect he'll commit suicide in slightly mysterious (but never investigated) circumstances. Polonium is too obvious these days....

"However, an opinion poll commissioned by the Washington Post suggests a majority of Americans think government monitoring of phone records is acceptable if the aim is to fight terrorism.

Mr Snowden's revelations have led to allegations that the UK's electronic surveillance agency, GCHQ, used the US system to spy on British citizens."

It can be done.

Wheren't Britain taken to the European court over this a few years ago?

The cute bit is that he goes to Hong Kong ... a town that even when it was a Crown Colony had civil rights and freedom of speech dictated by "self-control" or "self-censorship".... which has witnessed a near takeover of the press by Mainland China based companies playing by Mainland China rules... Internet in Hong Kong as in much of Asia (including Singapore) is controlled.. In China now for comments people must use their own names.. No need to go through the trouble of using providers dbs...

But to your question.. he is already insane.. QED..

Amazing what one major terrorism attack can do.

"no-one has commented yet"

Hardly one major terror attack There have been numerous terror attacks alone this year in the US. The real problem is that monitoring can do little to prevent terrorist attack as the rules have changed.
Taking a "poster example"... Could Nidal Hasan have been prevented? But wait.. The JTTF had been aware of e-mail communications between him and Anwar al-Awlaki.. so ?
Really there is nothing one can do. That's the part that the government can't tell.. The monitoring is hardly a scandal.. its political.. The State showing that its trying to do something.. Private sphere? Civil liberties?

i predict a day of global mourning at the passing of footdown

In an interview he mentioned one of the options probably being considered for him is to be 'rendered'.

One major terror attack = 9/11.

That was their first, and possibly last serious terrorist attack, their other incident were domestic (like the Oklahoma bombing).

Or 11/9 in Europe.

over the last couple of days I've come to the conclusion that I can never visit 'murica without throwing all the views, opinions and freedoms I hold close out the window.

Stick to the left and right edges, you'll be fine.

Out of curiosity, was any of that 'arranged' via emails, phone calls, etc? Or are the terrorists in this case clever enough to keep everything analog or encrypted?
