العميد فايز كرم التقى عون بعد إطلاق سراحه: لا يمكن تهديدي بالماضي وأنا ملتزم بالتيار الوطني الحر

Longue vie a la corruption! [sarcasm] this guy should be serving life.... if not the death penalty. It's time to establish contact with mossad agents, we only risk two years.... everyone, this is an official invite by the judicial system!

"Fayez Karam, who allegedly collaborated with Israel" no you filthy Zionists not allegedly the filthy traitor was CONVECTED OF COLLABORATING!

2 years already !!!! ka2anno mber7a.
I wonder how hizbulla accept that an israeli spy walk away that easily!

What about the other collaborators? Is there a scale which allows people for lesser terms when collaborating with Israel? After Aoun, is he going to apologize to the Hezb?

he didn't "allegedly" collaborate with Israel he was convicted of it...this is a criminal plain and simple and in any decent country would have faced the death penalty for treason....

Others get the death penalty, this is the justice in Lebanon.

a convicted traitor gets off instead of beind executed!
hizbushaitan rule at best :)

the lesson from this serenade is that hassoun needs aoun desperatly, but hizballah is very cautious now in giving any sensitive info to aoun.

I think Karam definitely had some sort of Israeli affiliation, otherwise he wouldn't be in this mess. His case was high profile, and if there was any evidence to suggest his innocence, then i'm sure the Lebanese judiciary system under the tremendous pressure and media spotlight, would have moved to let him free. But it didn't, he is clearly guilty, and it's a shame he has been let off the hook.

I say put him on a lie detector, and then let him proclaim his innocence. I'm against capital punishment, but he should have at least served a good 10 years in jail. Israel has no friends in Lebanon, it see's the country as a war-field and everyone in it as its enemy. It's how the Israeli's think, they are generally not nice people. Really.

Israel's punching itself in the face for not provoking infighting in Lebanon, and allowing Hezbollah to stockpile its weapons. lol.

Sarcasm ... maybe!!!!
Reality ... Hell yeah!!!!
When the collaborator is from M14 .. he is a filthy zionist working for the Enemy
When the collaborator is from M8 ... he is being prosecuted because of his affiliations w the poor guy is innocent!!!
U both are worse than each ... different sides for the same coin

Ha Ha Ha now we can see who is the really on the Israeli Side true colors are showing, even our dear friend Hisbofpm agent flame thrower is agreeing with it. Hizballah+Fpm = Israel.

that was sarcasm too :)

"The National News Agency reported that a white Jeep Infinity transferred Karam ..."
LOOOOOOOL ... reminds me of the valet parking guys ... 2arreb range!!! inno it is either a Jeep or an Infinity .... make up your mind ... just cause it is a 4X4 doesn't make it a Jeep.
W yalllaaa!!!!!!!

General Karam is a liberation war Hero, and it’s not the first time that Rafic Harriri Mafia attacks him, when Harriri was the Syrian Regime n1 agent they used him to attack all FPM including General KAram, now that the Syrians are out Saad Harriri did the same via Wissam el Hassan. Has everybody forgotten how the SS interrogates suspects, after a few days of torture if they ask you who killed Jesus u’ll say me, but please stop! Ask ur self why did the interrogation records disappear, and then why did they reappear at the high court. And please for those who were never arrested by the SS refrain from doing any comments on things you ignore

He was not convicted of spying. He was arrested for having met with an israeli in Paris 10 years ago. He was found not guilty of spying. this is the facts!

If every Lebanese official who met an Israeli was arrested, no doubt we would see many MPs behind bars. Let's not even start with those officials who provided maps to Israel on where to bomb and when to stop!

There needs to be a stronger regulatory committee that's stops so much of the rubbish we read and see on tv.

He was convicted of collaborating with Israel which is treason in Lebanon.

Why am I not surprised?

he was convicted as a traitor and that is the end of it.
when the time comes your aoun too will be tried for his contacts with israel. pictures of him with tsahal during the lebanese invasion in 82 are circulating on the net for those who want to see :)

Parents and friends of all detainees for suspicion or conviction iofcollaborating with israel should go to the streets and ask for a general amnesty... Today before tomorrow

How about you hire some capable editors Naharnet?

i can understand anything Hassouna chooses...but choosing to tell Ashar el Nass to support the release of this guy..its beyond me...Hassouna is now a true politician!

for once, you speak the truth (not sarcastic)

How many Lebanese collaborated with the Syrians ?

Dear Naharnet,

it is NOT called a JEEP Infinity. Get it straight at least. Jeep is a brand of cars that is NOT associated with Infinity.
What you should have said is an Infinity SUV.

English 101. pathetic editorial process.

"In 2006, Aoun was preparing himself to become, by the end of the

...
Now, he was back in Lebanon, and wanted to ascertain the presidential chair.

He started

The Israeli collaborator is fully committed to FPM, who is fully committed to the Hezz.

I guess with M8 in power all Israeli collaborators will get a light sentence.

A traitor should be sentenced to death no matter his political affiliation...

Aoun continues to fight corruption and nepotism :)Why is Nasrallah not complaining?

Lebanon is a country of gangs the laws apply only for those who doesn't belong to any of those gangs, Unfortunately you have 2 options either you belong to one of them or you leave the country

When ur a zionest collaborator thats allied with Hezbollah, u get a slap on the wrist. When ur not, its the death penalty. Pathetic hypocrit filthy fake resistance hezbollah.

I am so frigging confused...
This man fought syria, and returned to Lebanon after Syria left; and is a pro syrian now. He gets convicted and gets off with 9 months jail, while others get life and the death penalty. Something very fishy is going on. This is lebanese politics.

Who really believes that the FPM is an enemy of israel lol?? israel wants Syrian regime in power and hence the western constant hesitation to interfere, nasralah happy about all the above and thus the hizzies/israel/west all in the same bed. A7la chi nasrala how he fools his herd by sayin the US is too 'weak' to interfere in Syria ..lik yeslamli.. as though the US did not bomb the shit out of libya last year and could do the same to Syria, then maliki who came on US tanks does not want the west to interfere in syria. It is the alliance of mionrities (jews included) in the new middle east. Sorry folks but i am just being a realist.

its a shame. Justice will be served. We will never forget OR forgive.

Thanks, Hezbollah alliance! Good to know that we can buy your stooges on the cheap and that you'll turn a blind eye once they're uncovered. Hopefully this will motivate more "resistance" partisans to come into the welcoming arms of our Mossad.

I am interested in knowing, what is so important in Lebanon, this general could have provided to Israel? Definitely, nothing of a military value.

the reception from GMA says it all, if they truly believed he was innocent, they would have made a proper reception for him, especially after all the attacks from the tayyar MP's. Even in his weekly adress to the media GMA didnt even mention Karam if it wasn't for a reporter who asked him about the visit...Karam was a spy plain and simple, but GMA was afraid that Karam will drag him along and arranged for his release. FT and Keserweneh clap for your leader...

Godfather Aoun to Karam "hey listen here, don't dare tell about me and I'll take care of your family and help you get out early, I have will talk to the other Mafioso Hassan he owes me for betraying the Christians"… if you tell on me ya waylak...
