ميقاتي لعون: القانون يسمح لرئيس الحكومة باعتراض المخابرات لمكافحة الإرهاب والجريمة

Did not even know Najib Miqati was still around. But for a change...nice move/comment!

What a bazar. When Aoun does like a law he asks his ministers not to apply it. Yet there is a legislative body who is responsible of voting law. There is a consultative body that is responsible of saying wether the law is constitutional or not. Aoun by asking his ministers not to apply the law means that his ministers are acting outside the law of this country. He should behave within the law and rules and regulations of this country. If he think the law is unconstitutional then as an MP he has the power to challenge this law and request an amendment.

But Aoun and his ministers are behaving as outlaws weakening the rule of the state as they have to bow to Hizbullah demand. It is ok for Hizbullah to have a telecommunication network outside the control of this state, but it is forbidden for the state security institutions to protect the Lebanese citizens.

Nah my follow Shiite brother pretending to be Christian, the president is a Maronite and we are opposed to the return of al Marouniyyat al siyassiya in any form, Sayyed Hassan said so, time to make what we have now official Sayyed Hassan for supreme leader*.

*of course he will still be a lowly soldier in the army of the Fakih taking orders from the Supreme supreme leader.

I am curious to see who this telecom data evidence will implicate. Then we can see the motives behind stopping it. It's a fine line between infringing on people's rights and putting away killers. I think reasonable suspicion based on evidence along with a warrant by judge after reviewing the evidence should suffice. It’s pretty much how they do it in every free country.

Oh not again....the_Bore! Talking trash as usual. Suck on your thumb and be quiet!

funny how mr aoun would want to hide and prevent evidence of potential assassination culprits. i wonder if he fears anything...

FT, I am surprised man. I stopped calling you BS thrower awhile ago because I respected our different opinions, but come on. Some of us can atleast acknowledge when other sides made a point. In Lebanon, we pick the lesser of the worse, not the best of the best.

What is Aoun trying to hide here. Lebanon is one of the only countries in the world in which the judiciary can't access wiretaps for national security. In every stable country, this is their primary source of defence. What do you propose other than to tow the FPM line?

Josh your history facts are wrong. Actually the Sunnis in Lebanon and Syria were backing Faycal of Arabia. Faycal had a deal with the British foreign office while Al Seoud stroked a deal with the British authorities in India. Faycal was weakened by the French in Syria, and Al Seoud supported by the British fought Faycal and kicked him out of Arabia. In compensation, the British gave Faycal's sons Irak and Jordan and both proved to be moderate "Sunni" rulers.

The real issu with Sunnis, is that some FPM Christians in Lebanon cannot accept the idea that they should live en bonne intelligence sharing the responsibilities and power with them. They have a nightmare since Rafik Hariri who was a moderate sunni and a true lebanese. But FPM christians do not see this. They only see that Rafik was a Sunni and not a Christian. Yet he worked for all the Lebanese and brought prosperity for all.

To counter the Sunnis FPM Christians are happy making an alliance with the evil i.e. an armed shiite islamic revolution militia. They meet on one same goal: weakening the Sunnis. Yet the Hizbullah agenda is not Lebanese but based on the Syrian/Iran axis. With their hatred to the Sunnis, FPM Christians are taking the country to the abyss.
