"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Military Court Adjourns Samaha Trial to Feb. 18- Naharnet

The Military Court of Cassation adjourned on Thursday the trial of former Information Minister Michel Samaha on terrorism charges to February 18.
Samaha last appeared in court on January 21 and answered a series of questions on the transfer of explosives from Syria to Lebanon for the purpose of carrying out terrorist acts.
It was his first appearance since his release on bail from prison under a controversial Military Court ruling that drew condemnation from several politicians.
The ex-minister was arrested in August 2012 and charged with attempting to carry out "terrorist acts" over allegations that he and Syrian security services chief Ali Mamluk transported explosives and planned attacks and assassinations of political and religious figures in Lebanon.
