Vanessa Redgrave Supports Terrorism

It’s a shame that crotchety old actress and human rights windbag Vanessa Redgrave isn’t dead, because she now uses her fortune to spring terrorists from prison. Here is an excerpt from this London Telegraph article:

A former Guantanamo Bay detainee wanted for extradition by Spain on terrorism charges is to be released after being granted bail by a London magistrates’ court.

Jamil el-Banna, 45, was one of three British residents arrested after landing back in the country last night following their release from the controversial US military prison on Cuba.

Appearing at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court today, el-Banna was granted bail of £50,000 by Senior District Judge Timothy Workman, despite prosecution arguments that he was highly likely to abscond.

The actress and human rights activist Vanessa Redgrave was named as one of the possible suretors in court.

Interviewed outside, she declined to be specific about her financial involvement but said she was “very happy” to be of “some small assistance for Jamil and his wife”.

“It is a profound honour and I am glad to be alive to be able to do this,” she said. “Guantanamo Bay is a concentration camp.”

Well then, it’s a profound honor to call you a douchebag, Ms. Redgrave. Now, here’s a list of things to boycott.
