Have any of you seen the film, Atonement? I wanted to see it, along with some other films while we relax over the next few days. But, now that I know Vanessa Redgrave is in it, I refuse to see it. I refuse to give one dime to anything that has Vanessa Redgrave associated with it.
Why?
Two suspected al-Qa’eda operatives released from Guantanamo Bay have walked free from court although they are still wanted in Spain on terrorism-related offences. One of the men, who is accused of distributing extremist propaganda produced by Osama bin Laden, had half of his £50,000 bail surety met by the actress Vanessa Redgrave, the terrorist sympathizer.
Jamil el-Banna, 45, who was said during a brief court hearing to have helped run a cell called the Islamic Alliance, recruiting people to fight jihad in Afghanistan and Indonesia, returned to his London home tonight. The other man, Omar Deghayes, 38, a Libyan national freed from Guantanamo and allowed into the UK because he once lived here, is said to have had links to the same al-Qa’eda cell. He was also released on bail. Spain issued European arrest warrants for both men within hours of their arrival in Britain last night from the Cuban detention centre. Vanessa Redgrave said:
“It is a profound honour and I am glad to be alive to be able to do this.”
I’m not glad you’re alive, Vanessa Redgrave. I’m rather looking forward to reading your obituary.
