He was released after serving 16 days when the Court of Appeal decided his prison sentence should be suspended.

He's going for the foreign footballer defence of saying he was misquoted. Although unlike most footballers caught slagging off their team to home media he may actually be right.

Quote:

The Express Tribune newspaper in Pakistan reported that he spoke out at a reception last week in direct response to an American reward offered for the capture of a prominent Pakistani radical. However, footage of his speech, made in Urdu at a conference in Haripur on Friday, indicates that he was misquoted. Lord Ahmed insisted his words were taken out of context, saying he had instead called for Mr Bush and former Prime Minister Tony Blair to face justice over war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Indeed, but there seems to be too few calling for this consumate liar to be bought to book for the deaths of so many of our service man (women) and the deaths of so many Afghanies and Iraqis on the altars of his and Bush's God.

Don't forget Straw and the 45 minute weapons of mass destuction, he's just as guilty, seems his chickens are coming home to roost now. Time for all the hypocrites to get fried.
