Even if you don't think he's a good housemate... imagine the physical and mental trauma of the recovery. And the thing about being disabled is that accidents and tragedies happen all the time, leaving out the terrorist element for a moment, that could be any of us tomorrow. He deserves his pension. Let it go. If you're unhappy about it, contact the MOD and they'll tell you to let it go too...

Ignorance!! it seems that many can not imagine being in his situation, and I agree very much with what wombai says too. It just seems a waste of time explaining though. I'd be heartbroken if I was a member of his family reading some of the nasty comment about him.
