Call me cynical but maybe much was made of his mental instability to try and reduce the punishment.
He took a risk to smuggle drugs(drugs that would kill many people.......and harm the families of those who took the drugs) he got caught and he has been dealt with.

It would be good if our judiciary could learn a lesson from this case.

And while I am on the subject, can Gordon Brown not see the hypocrisy of his interverntion in this case? I am thinking that Gary Mc Kinnon(whose actions harmed no-one) is someone who Mr Brown should intervene on behalf of, to save him from being deported.
Gary Mc Kinnon is a British National....also with a mental disorder.......if he deserves to be punished for what he did, then let the British judiciary decide on his sentence, not the American court.

I would like to amend this post...the man didn't own a night club, but he managed a cab office........everything else I stand by.

Hmm, well, just a touch of speculation, what an excellent front for drug distribution that could be? A packet left on the back seat then if stopped by the law deny all knowledge and say it must have been left by a customer.

Bet I'm not the first to have thought of that.

fair cross section of members from different sections of society have commented on this, all seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet, yet once again "No One" who is actually in politics has said a word,

Was just thinking the same thing myself. Could we have comments from Graham, Bernard, ClaytonEnder on this...

...or will it be the usual wall of silence?

As for Tory councillors, no point asking, as they don't even have the bottle to come on here.

From what I have heard, the main complaint is that he only got 1/2 hours trial and no investigation into his mental state. They also just laughed at his explanation that he had been asked to carry this suitcase.

Suppose we will never know now.

When in Rome.....................
So what does the government suggest? Send him back here so he can serve his sentence at our cost?
Have you noticed how they are "ill" when caught and we never hear about the dozens of times he got away with it, we started all this nonsense when we moaned about Blackburn girl Rita Nightingale being arrested in Thailand
http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc...c=GetTRDoc.pdf
and then the cheeky xxxxxxxxx start moaning about the death penalty, I don't remember much of an outcry when Saddam Hussain was hung

Margaret Pilkington · 30-12-2009, 14:35

Ok so if it is true that he only had a half hour trial, then that isn't right, but to my mind(and i guess there will be some who disagree) it is like the guy who tried to detonate an explosive device on the American airlines plane.......he was caught red handed.......and as has been said before, Bi polar doesn't mean you don't know right from wrong......yes, he had a mental disorder, but was able to function normally in society.......why should that mean he gets any better treatment than anyone else?

If you travel to these countries, then you have to abide by their rules and laws.......and most airlines and airports spell out what will happen if you are found to be carrying illegal drugs........and this chap had over 8lbs of the stuff.

His punishment was what is acceptable in that country, he paid that country's price for breaking the law.........It isn't like the UK and comparisons cannot be drawn.

only outcry ive seen wadey is from the useless gits that run our country n obviously his family, everyone ive spoke to about it has no sympathy n those that have posted on here don't seem to have, still when have any government taken notice of public opinion? unless its summat that could get em elected.

Absolutely correct M, nothing like killing off a few hundred passengers to bring the people to their senses, it wouldn't have done much to stir the Yankees conscience though most of those that would have died wouldn't have been Americans. Perhaps if they bombed New Orleans they might get a better result?

Oh er' thinking about it they deliberately diverted a Hurricane over there a few years ago didn't they? I believe relief for those Citizens is deliberatly being blocked by the same CIA just to show the third world that America has it's problems too.

(I know this to be true it isn't a conspiracy theory it is just one of the many fact's that I, and everyone else makes up to fool like minded people).

Back shortly just making a low quality video recording as proof of the above.

Margaret Pilkington · 30-12-2009, 16:23

whatever, the guy was caught with explosive material on him......which makes him guilty.......I am not saying who he was doing the deed for, because that is immaterial to the point I was trying to make.....which was, if you are caught with illegal items/doing something which you know is wrong, then you are guilty.....end of.
