Come to realize why we have not heard from ALLAMERICAN the towelheaded, muslim, HOMO, NY city cab driver...Apparently he headed off to Mecca for his HAJJ pilgrimage at Mount Arafat.
This year he's praying to his God for forgiveness for his homosexual and vulgar ways, that he be shown the way to become accepted by society and that he not give in to the devil's temptation and eat baked beans.

ITN and two reporters won a resounding £375,00 libel victory in the high court yesterday over amagazine's accusations that they had deliberately misrepresented an image that came to symbolise the
atrocities of the Bosnian war.


The news organisation and two reporters, ITV's
Penny Marshall and Channel 4's Ian Williams, sued
LM magazine over an article headlined "The picture
that fooled the world", which questioned the credibility of their 1992 report on two Serb-run
camps in Bosnia.

The two were each awarded £150,000 by the jury -
the maximum suggested by the judge, Mr Justice
Morland - while Independent Television News
received £75,000.

LM magazine - formerly Living Marxism, and with a
circulation of 10,000 - also faces a bill for cost estimated at more than £300,000. This means the magazine, its editor and its publisher - who had
raised only £70,000 in donations towards their
£100,000 costs - are now bankrupt

The TV reporters had called "outrageous" an
allegation that they deliberately misrep resented the image of an emaciated Bosnian Muslim, Fikret Alic, as being caged behind barbed wire at Trnopolje camp by selective use of "camera angles and editing".

The footage, which was likened to that of the Nazi
concentration camps, prompted an international outcry and was credited with hastening western
military involvement.

The unanimous verdict by the jury of 10 men and two women brings to an end a three-year libel battle that had threatened far-reaching implications for television news coverage of war.

The trial also raised questions about the "journalism of attachment" by war reporters, while ITN's decision to sue LM prompted debate about the strict libel laws and whether media organisations should use them against each other.

At the end of the two-week trial, the jury found that a February 1997 article by Thomas Deichmann, a German journalist, was wrong to claim that the image of Mr Alic was deliberately misrepresented by the reporters.
LM's editor, Mick Hume, and its publishers,Informinc (LM) Ltd and Helene Guldberg, had pleaded justification and fair comment. The article claimed the barbed wire was not around the camp - which Mr Deichmann said was a refugee collection centre not a prison - but around the news team,filming from a small enclosure next to the camp.

The two ITN journalists - whose news teams were accompanied to the camps by the Guardian journalist Ed Vulliamy - claimed the article and an accompanying press release and editorial amounted to a highly damaging attack on their reputations and professional integrity.

As the jury returned its unanimous verdict after four hours, a tearful Ms Marshall was comforted by Mr Williams. ITN issued a statement promising to pay any of their £75,000 damages recovered to the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Mr Williams said outside the court: "It's tremendous to be vindicated. What we have seen is a sordid attempt to rewrite history. This verdict is important for many people who suffered and died in the camps in northern Bosnia."

In a joint statement the reporters said LM had
declined every opportunity to retract the allegations or apologise, adding: "There is absolutely no doubt that freedom of speech is essential to society. But the freedom to print lies masquerading as the truth,as LM did, is not."

Richard Tait, ITN's editor-in-chief, said the verdict "wholly vindicates our decision to take action against LM over the lies they told."

Both Mr Hume and Mr Deichmann refused to
apologise for the article and stood by it.
Mr Hume, who denied allegations in court that he
had taken a pro-Serb line during the Bosnian
conflict, said: "The only thing this court case has proved beyond reasonable doubt is that English libel law is a disgrace to democracy and a menace to free press."

PEE WEE ALLAMERICAN: The homo muslim taxi driver

Apparently your Hajj pilgrimage and your prayers didn't help you. Guess even your own God gave up on you....Poor misguided soul that you are..

If you tire so easily of deciphering DIMI's posting suggest you tune into Sesame Street which could prove most benefitical in furthering your education and guide you in learning new English words, ie., no vulgarity.

My posting to Kim was for her edification...a sissy you are...getting involved in conversation between two most gorgeous, independent, vivacious, well educated, financially secure, confident, well bread, traveled, knowledgeable, informed, worldly, robust, attractive, LIKEABLE, friendly, creative, caring, fashionable can be a real bitch when necessary, professional, ec., etc., etc.. WOMEN...

YOUR WAY OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE PEE WEE....EAT YOUR HEART OUT..

Big man you are in your attempts to provoke Kissie. Again...YOUR OUT OF YOU LEAGUE PEE WEE. When are you going to understand this?

Without any doubt..YOU EQUATE TO A MOST LOWLY FORM OF BACTERIA..probably derived from a baboon's fecal matter.

Hey Mary,

I only answer with vulgarity when I come across it. You must be delusional or something but you have been as vulgar as the untrained yard Ape at the local zoo. Go back and read your messages- the reason you are pissed at me is because I am beating you at your own vulgarity. You can't handle it so you jump in between vulgarity and serenity when you feel like you can't win at either one. So your last post was more akin to the latter... now I am waiting for one of your silly and pitiful attempts at concocting a story filled with VULGARITY.

You see the truth is Hairy - I am smarter than you are and I am more educated than you are, therefore I can beat you at any one of your games – you just pick the one you want to play. I have done it before and I will continue to do it. There is nothing you can do about it except maybe leaving and not coming back - or begin (continue) posting under Aliases. The fact is you can't talk trash, and you definitely cannot out post me at it. and you difinitely do not have any political/economic knowledge of the Chechnyan conflict because you have never expressed it on these boards so you most definitely cannot compete. You Lose on both grounds... which I am sure you have faced all through your life. But that’s not the sad part Hairy... the sad part is that you don't know it yet. You keep coming back only to be rammed (LOL) back into the oblivion.

I just can't imagine what it must be like to live in a world where anything as TRIVIAL as FACTS cannot sway one's opinion.

So, once again, HAIRY, continue spouting your platitudes. We all know them to be baseless and complete DRIVEL anyway.

You just keep getting more and more lucid the longer you post.

LMAO AT YOU – out of pity ofcourse.

Oo, purty colors!

Anyway, 85% of all Chechens are traitors (according to Maskhadov & Basaev, of course). Here's some traitors and here is some more.

* Came on-board as vulgar and will be finished such.
And that's going to be this time's favourite:
You see the truth is Hairy - I am smarter than you are and I am more educated than you are, ...
and
The fact is you can't talk trash, and you definitely cannot out post me at it.
* That's what he got his "doctorate" in.
So, which pair he's gonna put his "boxing gloves" on?
Heh!

ALLAMERICAN, TAXI...TAXI..

WOW...your good..took you only a bit over an hour to write all that...very impressive.

Just don't get it do you? STOP & THINK ABOUT THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF MY POSTINGS FOR A MOMENT...Before you ever came on this board my intentions were perfectly known, clear and were understood by all regular members of this board. For that matter, I was also appointed as a member of this boards Coalition, (nominated by Dimitri and second by Igor)..Careful now, do you know what the Colition is?

If you possess just a wee bit of intellect you should eventually be able to unwrap the underlying rational and/or logic within the confines of my postings... which clearly and deliberatly... diviate from the elements and subject matter of this board.

I'm on my way home...not running..I look forward to a challenge any time and have faced off and emerged victorious against those that perceived themselves to be the best. Your no different PEE WEE.

fyi: I carry a Bar Card..not sure if you know what that is.

Yesterday Basaev lost his second plane, in less than a month! Maybe he should start thinking of digging a tunnel to Georgia instead.

Further more ALLAMERICAN..TAXI...TAXI...my intellect, upbringing and lady like mannerisms precludes me from being even close to such a reknowned authority and/or expert on trash as you are. You clearly are the handsdown victor on that subject. With that being clarified, what will your next leading authoritive subject be...swill or cesspool juice? HA HA HA HA

Must go for now...
