US fury after Baghdad court frees al-Sadr ally linked to killing spree
Source: The Observer

A senior Hezbollah commander accused of orchestrating the killing of British and US citizens is at the centre of a diplomatic storm after a Baghdad court last week ordered his release.

US government officials have accused Ali Musa Daqduq, a Lebanese citizen, of involvement in a string of attacks, including the killing of five US soldiers on a base in the Iraqi city of Kerbala in 2007, while he was acting as the group's liaison to a shadowy Shia insurgent group, the League of Righteousness.

The group was also behind the kidnapping of five British contractors including Peter Moore – who was freed while his four bodyguards were murdered.

Daqduq, who had been held in US custody since his arrest, was handed over to the Iraqi government last year after the formal withdrawal of US combat troops after a promise from the government of Nouri al-Maliki that he would be tried. The two men Daqduq was arrested with in Basra – Iraqi brothers who led the group – have already been released as part of a British deal to secure the return of Moore and the remains of his guards.

7. What right does the US have to complain?

Torture, drone attacks, the Bush War Criminals walking around free with no hope of ever being brought to justice!!!

This country lost the moral high ground a long time ago...

The man may be guilty as sin, but the US has the blood of innocent Iraqis and Afghans...filling buckets!

When we do something about CIA torturers, and the torture advocates like Yoo and Judge Bybee, then we can be furious about crap like this!

8. You are wasting your time trying to get folks to understand moral equivalents...

The US, UK, Israel...are all above international law when we act. Those laws are meant for every other nation except the Three Bully nations. I love my country and I feel like I have a right to criticize it...but most folks here and around the boards don't feel that way. I loved my bullying brother too, but I didn't like him and the things he did. I said so at home and got slapped in the mouth by my dad and scorned by my mother when we were kids. I guess that's the way families are? Beats me.

when the Iraqis let murderers in Iraq go free. We have no moral high ground to speak from. The hypocrisy should be pretty obvious.

11. You surprise me, muriel_volestrangler. I'd have never thought you were one of those warmongerers....

...who believed that Iraq had anything to do with harming Americans on 911. Everyone knows that it was the Saudis, the CIA and the BFEE.

I stand corrected -- you must indeed think we should have been there exposing our troops to maiming, death and disease based upon THOSE LIES.

I said nothing about whether this man's innocent or not.

That point is irrelevant since we should never have been there to begin with!

I'm saying that one person's terrorist is another person's patriot.

It depends what side of the TRUTH you're on.

And sometimes if you even know what the TRUTH is.

What I DO KNOW is that we were in Iraq because of a group of lying-ass warmongering ****ers told a bunch of *******ed lies and got away with it, okay? And a weak, bought-off Congress went along with it. And a fourth estate, owned and operated by rich bastards who are at this very moment further enriching themselves of the plunder we got for those dead American troops -- used the media as a rah-rah bully pulpit to promote these ****ING LIES. And I believe that this man would likely never have killed anyone if we'd had just minded our own *******ed business.

I ALSO KNOW that until we stop causing the wars -- then they will never end. WE ARE THE CAUSE OF THESE DEATHS!!! This nation and no one else!!! Understand!?!?!

We have evolved into a nation of stupid-ass citizens who support and do whatever the greedy ****ers running this shit tell us to do. That's why American troops got killed there and for no other reason.

People need to Wake the **** Up!

Now, I hope this clears my position up for you.

- Feel free to put me on IGNORE if my beliefs bother you so..........

10. We acquit the killers from the Haditha massacre, and still have the stones for moral indignation??

The muriel_volestrangler DUmmy is the only DUer in the thread who manages to work up some outrage over this.

Yeah go figure drone attacks are ok, and putting prisoners on a diet of Ensure is on par with what the Nazis did to the Joooooosssssss.

Libs freaked out over Saddam Hussein being photographed in his underwear because it humiliated him. Well, no shit it humiliated him. Our objective wasn't to make him feel like a million bucks. We were going to see him put to death one way or another so I just can't get worried about him being humiliated no matter how much I try. The way the libs acted over the underwear incident was as if the Nuremberg trials needed to make a come back.

No comment!...it is Sunday...and Mothers Day...I'm trying to stay in a good mood.
