Binyam Mohammed Was Released From Guantanomo Bay & Has Returned To The U.K.!
Binyam Mohammed is the Ethiopian Gitmo detainee that was the subject of one of my recent posts!He has now been released from Gitmo & he is back in the U.K.!Mr. Mohammed said that he was tortured at Guantanomo Bay & his case has gained world-wide attention.Here's more from the Telegraph:
"The Guantanamo detainee, Binyam Mohamed has now been released amid claims he was tortured with the full knowledge of British intelligence.
Mr Mohamed said the worst moment in the last seven years had come "when I realised in Morocco that the people who were torturing me were receiving questions and materials from British intelligence."
He added: "I have been through an experience that I never thought to encounter in my darkest nightmares…It is still difficult for me to believe that I was abducted, hauled from one country to the next, and tortured in medieval ways, all orchestrated by the United States government."
Mr Mohamed, who had broken a hunger strike before his return, was well enough to walk across the tarmac at RAF Northolt in West London, and in a statement he thanked the Foreign Office for their role in his release
But his arrival back in the UK is likely to bring further pressure on David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, who has referred the question of whether British agents were complicit in torturing Mr Mohamed to the Attorney General, Baroness Scotland, for consideration over whether to bring a prosecution.
The US government was criticised by judges in the High Court for blocking the release of documents relating to Mr Mohamed's treatment in detention and he is expected to continue to fight for their publication, saying: "I am not asking for vengeance, only that the truth should be made known, so that nobody in the future should have to endure what I have endured."
Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, declined to say what restrictions Mr Mohamed may face.
"I don't think it is for me to announce the details of that," he told reporters. "What I can say is that at all times the security of the country will be protected.
"Of course, we have got to look at the details of the arrangements, but at all times the security of the British people comes first."
Mr Brown said he would not publish US documents on Mr Mohamed's treatment in captivity, adding: "I think the important thing about intelligence information is that you share it with other countries on the basis it remains confidential." (END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
David Banner Says That Black Women Shouldn't Perm Their Hair!
Rap artist David Banner says black women that perm their hair have no pride.But,David Banner doesn't have one black woman with natural hair in this video.All of these women have perms.Black women go through all of that trouble because most black men don't go for women with natural,kinky hair.Let's use David Banner as an example.He's talking to all of the women "looking good in the club".They all just happen to be black women with perms & weaves!Where are the women with natural hair?Even Mediatakeout wants to know.Here's more:
"Here’s his quote, as reported by the Times And Democrat
In a question-and-answer session, Banner challenged black women in attendance to explain why they perm and straighten their hair. In response came the defense that “hair perming” is equated with being able to get a decent job as a professional and not being viewed as a threat by bosses who are usually of a different race.
“This is what I mean when I say black people don’t love themselves,” Banner said. “Perming your hair is a clear example of ‘black-on-black crime’ and media control. Black-on-black crime is not just a black person committing a violent act against another black person.
This is an age old argument, usually made by men – who have NEVER dated a woman with natural hair. We know there’s SOME merit to what he’s saying, but we ain’t trying to hear this argument from this dude.
David … until we see natural haired chicks EXCLUSIVELY in your videos … you really need to close your trap. …"(END OF EXCERPT)Read the entire post here.
Practice what you preach,man!
The Woman With The Bulletproof Weave Sure Got More Than Her Money's Worth!
I almost forgot about this unusual story.Ladies,whenever your man tells you he doesn't want you to wear a fake ass weave tell him Briana Bond's story.She's the woman underneath that mountain of hair that stopped a bullet.Briana says that she's been wearing weaves for years.Ms. Bonds is just glad that it saved her life.Not to mention that her investment more than paid off.She might have been injured or killed if it weren't for her weave! Knowing that a hair weave could save more than your looks may convince your man to shut the hell up about fake hair.Some dudes really nag there women about not wearing their natural hair.At least,that's been my experience.
