How about AST and Karmenu Vella give him a ring and ask him where he's put these men?

John Leyne reports from Benghazi for the BBC:

Those still missing are many of the tens of thousands of Libyans rounded up since the start of the revolution on 17 February. They include protesters, both from Tripoli elsewhere in the country.

The opposition insist they have kept detailed records. So they know that 57,000-60,000 Libyans were arrested, but so far only 11,000 are accounted for.

The fear is that the rest are still trapped in secret underground prison bunkers, where they have been abandoned by their captors since the opposition overran Tripoli. It’s a race against time to find and to release them.

    Maybe KMB can also join the fray and explain to us what happened to 50,000 missing Libyans.

    He will probably say that they are all on holiday in the Bahamas with Joe Sammut paying for their entertainment.

    Crackpot.

    May God keep them safe and sane.

    Don’t think Karmenu will raise his head above the parapet, yet. He’s a sly guy.

    Did some business with him a few years ago. An affable, smiley guy who gives the impression that he’s ‘all for you’.

    Once we were on good terms, I asked him why he hadn’t run for the Labour leadership. He replied that his past may ‘catch up’ with him.

    So I dropped it, although he mentioned something about an ‘import’ problem.

    Anyway, he then began to relate an incident that he experienced when a junior minister in Mintoff’s cabinet. He said that Mintoff phoned him in the middle of the night and ordered him to the airport. Of course he complied.

    They boarded a jet for some Arab country (forget which), arrived, were wined and dined, and, I guess, discussed some business. Each were given a luxurious suite.

    The next morning, they boarded the same jet and began the flight home. Mintoff asked Karmenu, ‘Well, did you get everything?’ Karmenu responded ‘Eh?’

    Mintoff said, ‘Did you clean out the bathroom?’ Karmenu said, ‘Why?’Mintoff said, ‘Idiot!’ Mintoff showed Karmenu Vella his bag full of all the toiletries, towels, etc that he had stolen from the bathroom.

    Karmenu asked, ‘Why do that?’ Mintoff said, ‘Idiot, if we steal everthing, they’ll think we’re really poor and give us more money’.

    Now my ‘friend’ is shadow minister of finance and writing the game plan for little Joey when he ascends to the throne. Wonder if he learned his ‘jet lesson’ well.

      I cannot see your point, apart from being so discourteous to mention private conversations. Nara nafdakx b’—–

        When private behaviour impinges upon the public good, its revelation is justified, even when it’s the subject of a private conversation.

        The alternative is Sicilian-village style omerta` where corruption flourishes, and no one is brought to account, because everything is done through private conversations.

    [Daphne – Honestly, what a whore. And not just a whore, but stupid with it: “Then, at the end of August, she made what she called her ‘big mistake’, returning to Libya. Assured by Mutassim that the regime was prevailing in its battle for survival, she was also hoping that he would help pay for treatment for her father, who has Alzheimer’s.” She was at the Corinthia Bab Africa. An AP reporter wrote about her some days ago: how when he went to the hotel because he heard it had been taken over by rebels, he found a Dutch woman in the lobby sobbing and shrieking hysterically and shredding everyone’s nerves. She had been flown over by one of Gaddafi’s sons.]

    KMB is on Smash TV everytime I switch it on.

    The man should be in a museum of Natural History, as an exhibit.

  6. Jozef says:

    Will someone please check what Joe Sammut is doing? Preferably before becoming the Belarus of the Mediterranean?

    Cyrus Engerer, of all people, has been invited to the MUSLIM celebration that the partit modern/progressiv/ moderat/ inklussiv/ tolleranti/ Laburista is organizing for Muslim voters in Malta. Really tactful.

    Come on,do you really expect anyone to believe it?

    I think you should now tell us that you were only joking,and quite a nice joke for a monday morning.

    Expensive liquer for the Gaddafi sons and abuse for their staff:

    When will KMB, AST and their likes hide their heads in shame?

  10. kev says:

    They now believe Gaddafi’s 144 tonnes of gold is stashed with the prisoners. Go figure. I’m sure they’ll be updating us soon, especially if Emmanuel Goldstein is among the prisoners.

    Take a break from the corporate media and check out the free press – you’d be less surprised in the future when everything goes awry: “Libya: The Greatest Betrayal” – http://www.infowars.com/libya-the-greatest-betrayal

    (And here’s something for the ‘serves-Iceland-right-for-not-being-EU-members’ clan: “Iceland Revives Carry Trade as Swaps Show Default Risk Is Below EU Average” – http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-08-28/iceland-revives-carry-trade-as-swaps-show-default-risk-is-below-eu-average.html)

    Now have a good laugh and go read Gahan Today.

      I took a look.

      I also checked out the “references” that your favourite website cites.

      How pathetic, the “big story” becomes nothing more than a minor footnote.

      Well, you believe what you have decided to believe, what suits you, whatever fits your conspiracy theory best.

      Sad. I was told once that too many herbal cigarettes can do that to a man.

      • kev says:

        That’s an awful lot of words to say absolutely nothing, Gahanito Guapo. You must form party of the ‘pathetic’ generation – you know, dawk li jitghalmu kelma u juzawha meta mohhom ma jwassalx.

      • el bandido guapo says:

        “That’s an awful lot of words to say absolutely nothing,”

        Is that an apt introduction to your contribution? Zero substance.

        You evidently also did not “jitghallmu” (double “L”) many kliem, either.

        Well, I’m also told that herbal cigarettes lead to memory loss, so maybe you’re excused.
