| Actress pays £25,000 to free Guantanamo inmate |
| 2007-12-21 |
| Two suspected al-Qa'ida operatives released from Guantanamo Bay walked free from court yesterday although they are still wanted in Spain in connection with 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 met by the Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave. Jamil el-Banna (45), who was said during a brief court hearing yesterday to have helped run a cell called the Islamic Alliance, recruiting people to fight jihad in Afghanistan and Indonesia, returned to his London home last night. |

| #15 Vanessa Redgrave goes in the misguided fool column. I guess she has never been mugged or had one of her family members murdered by one of these thugs. |

| #13 She does these public service announcements about cancer research and sounds all serious about "...refusing to die from (breast) cancer..." apparently the cancer that is islam doesn't concern her... |

| #11 Vanessa never met a murderous thug she didn't like. A fellow-traveler from way back. |

| #10 Yes, I jest. She (and her friends) will blame the years of captivity for any misdeeds, assuming the targets of those misdeeds didn't have it coming for being white/male or Jewish or something. |

| #8 *If* these ratbags are found to commit some act of terrorism in the future, will she be held accountable by herself, her friends, or anyone? |

| #7 In December 2002 Redgrave paid £50,000 bail for Chechen separatist Deputy Premier and special envoy Akhmed Zakayev, who had sought political asylum in the United Kingdom and was accused by the Russian government of aiding and abetting hostage-takings in the Moscow theater hostage crisis of 2002--in which 128 hostages lost their lives in a muzzie attack. Now officially on the "Piss on Their Grave" world tour. |

| #5 Well, we see which way the water is running in the merry mother country. We have the idiot Prince, the addled actress, and the fool who heads the Anglican church all turning Islamic. If the general populace doesn't rise up, like they have so often in their long history, their elites are going to sell them out to the turbans. Of course these elitist asses will be the first to have their heads roll after the takeover. |

| #4 So even the Socialists running Spain aren't far enough left for her to trust? What a perfectly meaningful name for her - Red Grave. |
