Lighten up guys, what sort of answers did you expect to get anyway ? Did you honestly think you would find. any sympathy for an Australian muslim convert, who went to Afghanistan to join the Jihad against America and it's allies ? How naive can you be ?
I know Wellard a little longer than today, so i know he's not the kind of guy who would do this, but asking Americans to write a letter to their congressman, to ask him if there's anything he could do about the situation of an Australian Taliban/Al Qaeda member who's being held captive for 5 years now, is equal to insulting their intelligence. Name one good reason why an American would do that ? Or why anyone would do such a thing for that matter ? Because he's Australian ? If that's all the reason there is, then again you're insulting people's intelligence. IW is a pretty civilized place, so this discussion was fairly peaceful, but i know of dozens of places where you would have gotten a lot of flak for asking questions like this, because it comes dangerously close to fishing if you know what i mean.
No matter how many ifs and buts you bring up, in the end you're still asking for the release of a muslim fundamentalist, who got caught with his hand in the cookiejar, and it was only to expect that you wouldn't find much sympathy for such a man here, so don't act all disapointed and shocked now, because you could have seen this coming from miles away.
