A Paelstinian doctor and six Bulgarian nurses face the death penalty in Libya.Hundreds of children in a Libyan hospital contracted AIDS. Rather than do a serious investigation, Libya chose to scapegoat foreigners. The evidence against them is so shockingly weak that the scientific journal Nature has published an expose. The six may be executed on October 31. quote: "It wouldn't meet the lowest standards of epidemiological evidence for establishing any causal relationship."

I'm not saying they shouldn't get a fair trial, or that a proper inquiry shouldn't happen to find out what went wrong. I'm saying that we let off our own blood czars here in Canada with slaps on the wrists for essentially murdering thousands of Canadians and denying any wrong doing for the duration of Krever's inquiry. Personally, I think our own blood people responsible for the colossal fuckup here should have been lined up at dawn without cigarettes or blindfolds, pissed on and shot between the eyes. Can we afford the risks of de-regulation ? [ 28 October 2006: Message edited by: Fidel ]

Now that is an interesting point, that particular thing had not occurred to me. One would think that the "Coalition of the Willing" would be able to exert enough political pressure to put an end to this if there was the political will. "Ignoramus" - It's very interesting that an enlighted individual like yourself would choose to give me such a moniker. Would you prefer to be address as "D~ckhe~d" or "Uneducated Condescending Jack$$" on my future posts?

You've read no reports. But congratulations, you have successfully derailed the thread. On purpose.

Weren't these nurses sent to Lybia, as, ummmm, err, an extension of a program of the previous regieme, as part of its policy of propogating fraternal relationships between the socialist block and their Arab brothers and sisters? Expomed, the company which hired the nurses, is in fact a state owned company and an extension of the old communist healthcare system, which provided contract medical personel for the emerging socialist world, I believe.

Let's just be glad something is being done while hundreds of Libyan children are dead, and not thousands of people, as in Canadians murdered by Connaught Laboratory's trafficking of tainted blood products, some of which were collected from U.S. gulags where known-to-be infected with AIDS and hep C poor American prisoners donated blood that was shipped to Canada unscreened. And maybe you dont wanna know about private entperprise's hand in BSE outbreaks from Maggie's Britain to Canada and the U.S. Cueball, what are avg. mortality rates like in Libya compared with the rest of Africa weighted down by Washington consensus ? Meanwhile, back at the ranch. [ 29 October 2006: Message edited by: Fidel ]
