FULL BODY STRAIGHTNESS DENIED

The ABC’s Sally Neighbour interviews torture claimant and competitive athlete Mamdouh Habib:

MAMDOUH HABIB: The bed, you can’t be relaxed, you can’t be full body straight.

SALLY NEIGHBOUR: You can’t lie straight?

Not even in bed, apparently.

UPDATE. The Habib family just keeps getting tortured. (Via surfmaster.)

  2. Mum and I dridn’t want to shout at the television. We ignored the programme.

    Oh, and he’s sueing the Government for something (I can’t be bothered looking), he wants $10M.

    I wonder, will he still be lining up at Centrelink if he gets a payout?

    (Can someone tell me how he can be getting social security when he and his wife ran a coffee shop in Haldon Street Lakemba?)

  4. If he’s interested in lying straight, might I suggest the rack.

    Pishtosh!  I think he lies pretty well.

    Ok, not really.

    No,the man was clearly born crooked.Crookedness seems to be quite a common affliction in his “region of origin”!

  9. “Australian Broadcasting Corporation”

    “FOUR CORNERS”

    “Investigative TV journalism at its best.”

    I about died laughing at that one.

  10. The ABC is prepared to accept what this creature says as truth, even though his claims of torture are recited, almost word for word, from Guidelines for Potential Terrorists, chap. V, sect. 3, “What to Say if They Nab You”. 

    I don’t know why I’m still surprised by the ABC.

  12. The current Canadian government is dealing with it’s “Citizens” in Guantanamo very well, much to the annoyance of liberals.

  13. Here’s another Habib classic moment.

    Posted by surfmaster on 2007 06 14 at 06:53 PM • permalink

  14. #13, Wimpy.  I see from your link that Amnesty International Canada Secretary-General Alex Neve says that
    ”...Australia, Britain and other countries have been ‘very forceful’, in demanding the release of their citizens”, and that “Canada virtually stood alone on the world stage in its reluctance to act”.

    How come all we’ve heard ever heard here are claims from Amnesty International that the “Howard Government” (aka the Australian Federal Government) was doing nothing, nothing for David Hicks and Mamdouh Habib?

    Different strokes for different folks, I guess.  They really are hypocrites at Amnesty.

    Posted by ann j on 2007 06 14 at 07:07 PM • permalink

  15. #15 Ann j, if I understand your post correctly, what you are fingering is the rhetorical ploys employed by Amnesty Idiots and other tranzies.

    When talking in Canada, it is only the Canadians who have done bad; when in Australia, only Australians.

    Basically, these people have zero credibility. Where are their denunciations of muslims willy-nilly killing muslims, let alone being unpleasnat.

  18. #18, kae - I saw it and was outraged. Not only was it a waste of police time but also a waste of time for the ambos and hospital emergency staff who had to go through with this farce.

    Mamdouh Habib is deranged, and his son (“My Bro’”) is also a serial public nuisance in the making.

    Thanks for that I had been searching for it.

    They are the masters, they video it and then show it to Ch 10. They must not have looked at it first.

    Very bloody funny

  20. Ann J and Surfmaster,
    They are so unbelievably stupid. No wonder they don’t work, they can’t. Too stupid.
    “We got it on camera, we got it on camera.”
    If you’re going to pull a shonk you at least make sure that the “evidence” doesn’t show it was a set-up.

    Imbeciles.

  21. Unfortunate that the wallopers couldn’t take Mammy’s advice and shoot em all.

    His kids were born here so we can’t send them back anywhere.

    Doesn’t Pakistan want Mammy? (Then we have to support the cancer that is his family which will strive to destroy what we have.)

    OT, but now I understand the low body count.

  23. #14- Funniest thing I’ve ever seen on channel 10- maybe they should commission a show from Habs and his homies.

    A sitcom where family members amateurishly stage fraudulent accidents for compensation and insurance claims, sign on at Centrelink on a variety of names, rebirth Subaru WRXs and gather nightly to humiliate and beat any female members of the clan.

    It’ll need a catchy name though- how about “Caliph Country”?

    We’ll have to work in a recognisable catchphrase as well- how about “The Skyline? You’re not taking the Skyline! I just wired the semtex in the boot! And besides which you are stupid woman, unable to drive autombile! how dare you request such- go and fetch my birch, bitch!”

    And perhaps we can have a daughter who picks up a bogan boyfriend, whose visit to the household is met by exclamations of “Bloody infidel! there’s no beer! Leave money for kebab on fridge!”

    The daughter’d have to be written out after the first episode though, as she would be throttled with a recently dismantled Commodores clutch cable then buried in the back yard next tot the arms cache and tin boxes containing the proceeds of narcotics trafficking.

    I reckon this has got legs.

    And the wine they served at dinner time was not properly chilled either.

  27. It is absolutely scandalous that the Federal Government was aware an Australian citizen was being transferred by the USA to Egypt for the sole purpose of interrogating him with torture, and lied about this knowledge.

    That was Kevin Rudd btw.

    The rest of Australia will say, wait, is that about Habib?  haha sucked in scumbag.

    mmm, actually there could be something to this.  I bet we get an Inquiry and the public servants say they passed the cable on to the minister and the minister says he never saw it.

  28. #24 Habib. Don’t even think aboutit. Channel 10 or WIN would present it as a new reality show with a big prize. Bored fans of Big Brother Live would watch and we’ve already got Gaza as a reality show where the participants self-destruct.  Oh (quotes #25).

  30. Mamdouh Habib should just feel lucky that he was in prison, not working:

    Prison: You spend the majority of your time in a 10X10 cell
    Work: You spend the majority of your time in an 8X8 cubicle
    Prison: You get three meals a day fully paid for
    Work: You get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it
    Prison: You get time off for good behaviour
    Work: You get more work for good behaviour
    Prison: The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you
    Work: You must often carry a security card and open all the doors for yourself
    Prison: You can watch TV and play games
    Work: You could get fired for watching TV and playing games
    Prison: You get your own toilet
    Work: You have to share the toilet with some people who pee on the seat
    Prison: They allow your family and friends to visit
    Work: You aren’t even supposed to speak to your family
    Prison: All expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required
    Work: You get to pay all your expenses to go to work, and they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners, and welfare
    Prison: You spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out
    Work: You spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars
    Prison: You must deal with dumb, sadistic wardens
    Work: They are called managers
    THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!!!!
