Paris Warns U.S. Against Moussaoui Death Penalty PARIS (Reuters) - Paris has warned Washington it could review its cooperation with the Sept. 11 probe if the United States sought the death penalty against a French national charged with aiding the people behind the attacks, French rights groups said Tuesday. They said Justice Minister Marylise Lebranchu told them in a letter that she had instructed her officials to contact the U.S. Justice Department to voice concern that information gleaned in France could put Zacarias Moussaoui on death row. The 33-year-old is charged with conspiring with Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda network in connection with the hijacked airliner attacks in New York and Washington, which left more than 3,000 people dead last September. After reaching an agreement with the French government, U.S. prosecutor Robert Spencer attempted to interview Moussaoui's relatives in France this week. "France will take steps to alter the agreement stipulating that any information transmitted to the U.S. judicial authorities ... cannot be used by prosecutors pressing for a death penalty," rights groups, including Amnesty International, quoted Lebranchu's March 15 letter as saying. Moussaoui was the first man charged over the attacks in which hijackers seized four commercial airliners, crashed two into the World Trade Center in New York and one into the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed in rural Pennsylvania. Rights groups say Spencer, who questioned Moussaoui's brother Monday, would use the information to argue the suspect should be put to death. U.S. prosecutors are due to decide by March 29 if they will seek the death penalty, the rights groups said. Moussaoui's brother refused to answer Spencer's questions while his mother failed to turn up for an interview. But the U.S. official was thought to be seeking to interview others connected with the family. Four of the six charges for which a not guilty plea has been entered on Moussaoui's behalf carry a possible death penalty. Lebranchu has already said France, which scrapped capital punishment in 1981, would not accept the death penalty for Moussaoui.

    It aint the Eiffel Tower and criminals in our country are subject to our laws not theirs'. France has been on the wrong side of the fence since at least WW2 when under Marshal Petan of the Vichy Government, French forces actively fought against US forces.Although they were responsible for America winning the Revolutionary War, we bailed them out of WW1 and WW2. In gratitude, they devalued their currency at least twice, effectively cancelling their war debt to us. I say to them, PISSONYA Frogs!

    France & the French take on airs and adopt obstructionist policies to assuage their egos. Otherwise they would have to face the fact that their place in world affairs has been, at best, secondary since 1815, and often irrelevant. They've seen their language supplanted as the common tongue of the world. Their technology is second rate. Their cars are a joke. Better wine than most of their vintages is produced elsewhere. Their military hasn't had a success story since Napoleon took up residence on Elba - and (or so I was told by a former liason officer) learns the proper protocols for surrender as part of their officer training. Etc. They do these things out of national pride, just to prove (to themselves more than anyone else) they still matter in the world . . . an opinion shared by few outside their borders. It's kind of like the genitals of a 95 year old - everyone knows they're there . . . but no one cares.

    Maybe we'll let the Germans have it back, although they probably won't want it now. Damn!!

    I might be of some concern if France was actually capable of constructing a firearm beyond that of dime-store quality. A Jennings would be a step in the direction of higher quality when it comes to French firearms.

    We should seriously consider their request just as soon as they pay back all the Millons(billons with interest)that they owe us from WWII that they never repayed.

    I hope you gentlemen realize that an alarmingly high number of Frenchmen would actually enjoy being peed on. Ugh, let's not go there.

    I thought it was already standard operating procedure for all the airlines to dump their"extra baggage" over France on overseas flights. Lets them know we are thinking about them. France's motto: bring us your tired, your poor, your overflowing portapotties.

    In defense of the French, they make great Clarinets, and clarinet reeds, rivaled by no one.

    French Intellectuals to be Deployed in Afghanistan to Convince Taliban of Non-Existence of God The clean-up portion of the ground war in Afghanistan heated up yesterday when the Allies revealed plans to airdrop a platoon of crack French existentialist philosophers into the country to destroy the morale of the remaining Taliban zealots by proving the non-existence of God. Elements from the feared Jean-Paul Sartre Brigade, or 'Black Berets', will be parachuted into the combat zones to spread doubt, despondency and existential anomie among the enemy. Hardened by numerous intellectual battles fought during their long occupation of Paris's Left Bank, their first action will be to establish a number of sidewalk cafes at strategic points near the front lines. There they will drink coffee and talk animatedly about the absurd nature of life and man's lonely isolation in the universe. They will be accompanied by a number of heartbreakingly beautiful girlfriends who will further spread dismay by sticking their tongues in the philosophers' ears every five minutes and looking remote and unattainable to everyone else. Their leader, Colonel Marc-Ange Belmondo, spoke yesterday of his confidence in the success of their mission. Sorbonne graduate Belmondo, a very intense and unshaven young man in a black pullover, gesticulated wildly and said, "The Taliban are caught in a logical fallacy of the most ridiculous. There is no God and I can prove it. Take your tongue out of my ear, Juliet, I am talking." Marc-Ange plans to deliver an impassioned thesis on man's nauseating freedom of action with special reference to the work of Foucault and the films of Alfred Hitchcock. However, humanitarian agencies have been quick to condemn the operation as inhumane, pointing out that the effects of passive smoking from the Frenchmen's endless Gitanes could wreak a terrible toll on civilians in the area.

    I seem to recall lately a story about a new fetish/craze amongst the french. They seem to go nuts for this type of totally rancid cheese. Seriously this sh** is so rancid the govt banned it's commercial consumption. It is at it's most desireable at it's maggot infested stage, at least thats when they like to eat it. Par for the course I reckon.[This message has been edited by interstatepawnllc (edited 03-21-2002).]
