The fact of the matter is that 90% of the member nations are dictators and socialist thugs (Western Europe socialists not included).
A United Nations human rights investigator
said his visit to the U.S. military facility in
Guantanamo Bay last week left him wondering
whether it would be possible for detainees'
lawyers to mount an adequate defense.
Defense lawyers for terrorists? Yeah, right.
Martin Scheinin visited the naval base in
Cuba
from December 3-7 at the invitation of the
U.S. government, while a tribunal in the case
of Salid Ahmed Hamdan, an accused guard
for al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, was
under way.
Scheinin did not address the details of that
case in his remarks to the 47-state U.N.
Human Rights Council on Wednesday. But he
said: "The hearings provided graphic
illustrations of the practical difficulties in
providing fair trials at a distant military base."
Of course his remarks were not detailed, they'd expose the anti-American bias.
"I still hope that a further follow-up visit
will
be possible for the purpose of conducting
unmonitored interviews with detainees at
places of detention, including Guantanamo
Bay, despite the government's current
position that it objects to such a request," he
told the Council.
The United States responded by saying it was
"disappointed" Scheinin had declined an offer
to view the base on the same terms offered
to other international observers, but did not
specify what those terms were.
Here again no details provided. (Pssst, could it be his argument is so weak he can't say.)
"We believe such a tour would have
enabled
him to provide the Council with a valuable
perspective on the facility," Melanie Khanna,
a U.S. legal adviser, told the Geneva
session.
What is wrong with this picture? Anyone care to postulate a guess?
It is quite simple. This simpleton from the UN wants to tour the entire facitily. This simpleton wants to give access to a jury trial for these terrorists. Perhaps an OJ jury would be objective here.
So what is the problem, Eye? Don't you think we need to be fair and that the UN only is trying to be a totally fair arbitrator?
I only have one question. Does this simpleton visit al Qaeda prisons and request to talk to prisioners? Huh? Well maybe, but he should request to speak to them BEFORE they are beheaded. It might make more of an impact that way.
As I said in my last commentary..."A
Religion of Love"
If you go back to my last commentary, you will notice a story about the British schoolteacher arrested for naming a teddy bear Muhammed.
Father killed daughter for not wearing
hijab,
her friends say; Dec 11,2007;
AFP/Breitbart.com
To save you a bit of reading, the teacher's students voted on and picked the little bear's name.
Friends and classmates of a 16-year
-old
girl who police say was murdered by her
devout Muslim father in a Toronto suburb told
local media Tuesday she was killed for not
wearing a hijab.
Here we have a father who holds to the strictest practices of the muslim faith. So what's wrong with that Eye? He is disciplining his child.
Her father, Muhammad Parvez, 57, was
arrested at the scene and will be formally
charged with murder when he appears in
court Wednesday, said police.
Discipline is discipline, but I sort of wonder if not wearing the female garb of a hijab deserves death. I might call that a bit extreme.
The girl's friends, meanwhile, told local
media
she was having trouble at home because she
did not conform to the family's religious
beliefs and refused to wear a traditional
Islamic head scarf, or hijab.
"She wanted to go different ways than her
family wanted to go, and she wanted to make
her own path, but he (her father) wouldn't let
her," one of her classmates told public
broadcaster CBC.
Evidently, tolerance is not one of the muslim tenants.
Her father, Muhammad Parvez, 57, was
arrested at the scene and will be formally
charged with murder when he appears in
court Wednesday, said police.
You sort of wonder if Muhammed the Bear influenced Mr. Parvez. As I said in my last commentary, Muhammad is a sacred name and all those bearing that moniker epitomize
and bring honor to the name. So does the name "Whacko".
