Abdsalam "as dumb as an empty ashtray"

Is it a lawyer's ploy to minimize the role Salah Abdeslam played in the Paris attack? 

Abdeslam's  lawyer, Sven Mary (a guy who probably got into lots of fights as a school kid) describes the Islamic jihadist as a "little jerk" who's "falling apart," and saying that he's ready to cooperate with legal authorities. 

The failed suicide bomber has been officially transferred from Belgium to France Wednesday but officials are not saying at which prison he is being held, for his own safety. It's possible that other mujahideen would kill him due to his reluctance to get it on with his 72 virgins.

Mary, who prefers to be referred to by his first name, said of Abdeslam that "He has the intelligence of an empty ashtray," and added that he is "more a follower than a leader."

Is Mary being honest, or is he being brilliant by minimizing the terrorist's ability to be a leader among scumcrumpets? I suspect the former because he is no longer representing Abdeslam since the transfer.

Frank Berton, the terrorist's French lawyer, told iTele TV Abdeslam "has things to say, that he wants to explain his route to radicalization," along with his role in the Paris attacks. But, he added that his client didn't take responsibility for the others. "That means be judged for facts and acts that he committed but not for what he did not commit simply because he is the only survivor of the attacks."

As a jihadist, it pays to be a coward.

Prosecutors say that Abdeslam led the coordinating logistics for the November 13th attacks that killed 130 people for which ISIS claimed responsibility. But if Abdeslam is as intelligent as John Kerry, as his lawyer claims, then it is likely someone else was the leader, clearing Abdeslam of that charge.

Brahim Abdeslam, the brother of Salah, blew himself up in the attack, but fortunately, the explosive vest didn't detonate properly and only killed him at a Paris restaurant. It is rumored the vest was made in China and sold at a discount.

Abdeslam's exact role in the Paris attacks is still a mystery, but the fact that he returned to his old neighborhood is testimony to the empty ashtray theory.

He is charged with attempted murder in the Ides of March shootout with Brussels police.

His lawyer said that Abdeslam deserves to be defended. I agree, and then he deserves to receive what he tried to give.

"Leave Abdeslam alone--he's tired"

Abdeslam to suicide bombers: "You go first, I'll follow later"

Salah Abdeslam, the alleged Islamist mastermind of the attack that killed 31 and injured hundreds in Brussels, had been in Belgian police custody four days prior to the attack. Rather than grilling him effectively, Belgian law enforcement spent about an hour, (3600 seconds) questioning him . . .  because the poor guy was "tired."

The hour-long interrogation (LOL) at a Brugas prison produced even less strategic intelligence as a DNC discussion on how to defeat ISIS. 

Zero. Zilch. Nada.

The interrogators, pleasant folks who didn't want to interrupt Abdeslam's TV time in the Rec Room, didn't initially ask him about impending jihad plans, but rather asked chronological questions such as: "Please tell us about the Paris attacks, if you will, sir."

And the Belgian authorities knew about the bomb-making supplies and his fingerprints at the safe house in Schaerbeek days before the attack, and other evidence that an attack was imminent. 

"Damn the iceberg, full speed ahead!"

They actually stopped questioning Abdeslam because he had been shot in the leg when he was captured and his boo-boo still hurt.

"He seemed very tired and he had been operated on the day before," an official told Politico.

"They were not thinking about the possibilities of what happened on Tuesday morning," another person said. (I would have stopped after the fourth word in that sentence.)

The chicken's lawyer, Sven Mary, a guy who obviously had it tough in grammar school with a name like that, agreed that Abdeslam was treated delicately by police, and that they missed a golden opportunity to prevent the Brussels attack had they actually asked him probing questions while punching him in the bad leg.

Belgian public broadcaster VRT said that Abdeslam was planning a multiple shooting and suicide bomb attack in Brussels like those in the November Paris attacks. 

But the "mastermind" would have likely had other people die rather than him. That's what Islamic masterminds do--they get the expendable jihadists to do the wet work.
