Jump To Comment: 1 2 3The world is full of chickens. Everyone stands by while America breaks international law. The phrase bad things happen while good people do nothing cant be truer in this case. What else can be done though. Get everyone together and stage an extraction of the detainees from Camp Xray?? The rest of the world should stop buying American goods!! Whats your alternative Claire????????
camp X-ray will be run down over the next year as the US judiciary are tired of it. The release of British suspects will come first followed by others. The Yanks won't sayanything about it and will release them in dribs and drabs so as not to loose face as they know they are in the wrong. Don't believe for a minute that Ghadaffi and the Iranians would give up their weapons programs without some sort of quid pro quo.
Ofcourse you're right Simon. Much better to sit back and do nothing innit?
Good thing Rosa Parks didn't have your attitude. Or Martin Luther King. Or the suffragettes. Or those who lead the Vietnam anti-war movement.
There are things that can be done. Pressure can be exerted. Write letters to elected representatives and to newspapers. Keep the issue alive.
Ok it may be futile, but it beats turning a blind eye. To do something - ANYTHING - is better than doing nothing at all and will at least break complicity with the crime.
