Pakistan today agreed to hand over Abu Farraj al-Libbi, an alleged senior member of al-Qaeda, for prosecution in the U.S.

He said al-Libbi, believed to be a close confidant of terror mastermind Osama bin Laden, did not provide any leads during interrogation on bin Laden’s whereabouts.

“No, he did not provide useful information about Osama bin Laden,” Musharraf said, speaking from the Pakistani capital. “He says he is not in contact with Osama bin Laden.”

Reportedly, al-Libbi tried twice and failed to assassinate Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf. What crimes did he commit here? And is he really a senior member of al-Qaeda or is this another case of mistaken identity? Does anyone really believe that if this guy was a somebody, Pakistan would turn him over to the U.S.?

    Now let me see, our non government will send Al-Libbi to court but not the little guys? Al-libbi has his rights! written in stone, but the liitle guys following this nut case are not? so its ok to torture the nothing guy who maybe or may-not be what we call a terrorists? and its ok to mistreat some nothing guy? but the big boys get court rooms? and lawyers so can we say bull sh#T. but maybe bush is looking For a trade pact with good old freedom loving Musharraf, and what can one get out of that? 10 million people coming here?..Hey bush boy where is bin laden, would you like me to go and get that little pig? or do you have some-other reason for not wanting old Osama? "can we say CIA Reasons"? or how about bank reasons, or drug reasons and much more?
