No...I'm fairly certain the BOS right is RIGHT. It;s not some conspiracy we came up with after slamming our heads together.
Yes it is. I havn't seen it proposed anywhere on the media. That's because the government isn't so stupid to try such a thing because some poor Liberal Party official would get a pasting on the 7:30 report, 4 Corners and Lateline.

You are WRONG katie tully. ADMIT IT. You are the one who came up with the idea in the first place, so you can apologise on behalf of the BOS Right.

wtf leetom..
all i've said is that they haven't been able to get enough information and that being the democratic nation they are, dispite believing that he was a terrorist they didn't have enough to go forward with a trial so they set him free.

What about the consipiracy theories from the left we're hearing here?

Wasn't mentioned in SMH the following day, so it must have been passed off as the brainchild of some stupid rightist.

I don't. I hate fanatical leftists. I'm just trying to disprove the BOS Right's flawed idea that Habib was released in order to protect the identity government agents.

That's one way to see it, the other is to say that the left has developed intellectual arrogance leading them to the point where they believe that communism will work and putting forth complex ideas that an idiot could see wouldn't work from the beginning.

Yeah, um...I keep getting branded as rightie, yet I prefer to remain neutral in terms of the political spectrum...
that said, i know what post modernist ideals are, and i tend to agree with post modernism...so ... that doesnt apply to me.

egypt then migrated to australia...
most of the abuse claims are comming from while he was in custody in pakistan, egypt... other than the prostitute claim.

He claims that an australian official was present in egypt while he was being electrocuted =/

The thing is Not that Bright can never claim to know what communism is because if you go to the thread on leftwing or rightwing you will see he has no idea about the differences between marxian communism and socialism. In fact the argument that communism wont work is not even an argument, because communism according to marx fas a very futuristic age based on society that was based on virtually no labor. This leaves us with the idea of socialism, and socialism is very achievable and it does work, it is working in Venezuela! I guess thats what distinguishes the right and the ALP from the real left. I would like to however congradutlate the BOS RIGHT as they have been called and should be call from now on that from sucesfully condensing and simplifying books and books of information that I and they have not read by saying... It wouldnt work. That I feel is what asquithian means, and is the inherent problem with your arguments, just as right goverments policies are deficient, so are your arguments.

In that thread i was rather confused, i was going to go back and edit it but i figured it didn't matter.
Tho i'm glad you've learnt what books i have and have not read simply from one post on an internet forum from almost a year ago was it?

Asquithian you're forgetting about the people that are LEFT WING and go to uni too. It's not just those on the right that are misinformed and don't communicate their politics as best as they could.
