THE MOB TAKES ON AL QAEDA

By malkin

Reuters reports in Italy: Mobsters Bully Terror Suspect in Prison

International terrorism charges and allegations of ties to al Qaeda might be enough to scare away some cellmates, in some countries. But Italian mobsters jailed on the island of Sardinia, apparently outraged by terrorism, beat up an Algerian terror suspect and threatened to kill him unless he got himself transferred to a new prison. The same threat was made against at least one other Algerian inmate.

"You guys set off bombs and do massacres. If you don't change prisons, you're dead," the criminals were reported to have told Saadi Nassim, in comments confirmed by his lawyer.

Maybe we should try this approach to counterterrorism here.

It notes that their choice of internet service provider, in Abilene, Texas, is rather suspicious, and wonders whether they are getting some extra support from certain quarters.

This is curious. Where did this fact come from, and what is the ISP being used for? If it's web hosting, it doesn't mean crap. I can host a website in Thailand if I want, with the domain registered in Moldavia. What's his point? Some devious Neocons are, gasp!, giving the guys at Iraqthemodel some help? How sinister. He's right, it must be a plot to deceive us, Strauss-like.
