    That's kind of what "regular" means.

    Not really.

    A train that leaves the station at 12:00 every day is regular. If it leaves 7 times a week (at whatever time or day) it departs frequently.

    ..... with Bitcoins, I'd promptly tell you to go fuck yourself.

    Really? Just for asking a question? Don'y you think that is a bit extreme or do you answer all questions in the negative with "go fuck yourself". E.g., if I asked if you had the time and you didn't would you say "go fuck yourself"?

    .As would most people.

    I very much doubt it.

    If they were extradited to civilian law enforcement in the US, they wouldn't go to Gitmo, ever.

    I realize that, I was just commenting broadly on the subject to try to explain why these things seem to be sticky in general.

  9. Re:Must be public pressure in Europe. on Non-Binding Resolution: EU States Should Protect Snowden · · Score: 1

    It's really hard to extradite from the EU anyway even for non-politically-connected crimes.

    A big part of this is what is coincided punishment under the two jurisdictions. The EU has a very strong rule against the death penalty so when extraditing people that may face the it in the US it is very easy to argue that extradition could lead to cruel and unusual punishment under the EU rules.

    The other issue is human rights, if there is any chance someone extradited might end up in Guantanamo Bay it once again makes a very easy case for the defendant.

    Right. He didn't like the political leanings and policies of the people who were involved in the deaths in those places. His revenge was against what he perceived as oppressors, not religious antagonists.

    It is amazon how soon we forget.

    I can think of two major acts of genocide ordered by self professed "God Fearing Christians" in the past 100 years. At least one bombing comes to mind as well as a few mass shootings.

    All told, the deaths are in the millions and Muslims have a fair way to go to catch up (and yes, I am talking only the resent past).
