Brigitte's wife released in France
2004-01-24
"Brigitte's wife" sounds so... Franco-Lesbian.
The lawyer for the Australian wife of suspected Islamic militant Willie Brigitte has confirmed she has been released by French police without charge.
"Le Gume, we must let her go! We have nothing to hold her on!"
"But Inspecteur! She was an Anglican who became a Jewish lesbian and then became the wife of an Islamist!"
"True, Le Gume. True. But the only laws against that aren't made in La Belle France!"
"Sacre bleu! We must... go to the UN?"
"Non. Higher than that... There, there, Le Gume. Don't take it so hard! Here! Have some cheese!"
"Mmmm! It smells like feet! My favorite!"
Melanie Brown spent three days being quizzed by France's domestic intelligence agency DST at the request of anti-terrorist magistrate Jean-Francois Ricard. She was picked up after flying in to Paris to visit her husband in prison. Mr Brigitte, 35, spent five months in Sydney before being deported to France on October 17 and placed under judicial investigation for terrorism-related offences. Ms Brown's lawyer, Stephen Hopper, says she was released this morning Australian time. "She's in good health, she's obviously tired, it's late at night in France and she's been in there for around three days and wants to have a good night's sleep," he said.
"Then she'll probably do some shopping, or go cruising for chicks."
"We haven't had the opportunity to have a full discussion with her, but she's OK." Mr Hopper says he understands French anti-terrorism legislation allows people to be held without charge for up to four days. “She could have been detained for a little bit longer, but obviously the French authorities have managed to canvas all the business they needed to,” he said. “In fact, she's been released a little bit earlier than the time she could have been held, so we're quite grateful to the French authorities for that.”

#2  anti-terror French authorities were probably worried more that she's Jewish than that she's married to an Islamic terrorist
