kkk dream come true

camp xray/kkk must a kkk paradise,imagine if yur a redneck gung ho type, u get a chance to hav coloured skin type people bow down before u on their knees, hooded and shackled, its a kkk dream come true. even slobodan milosevic had the decency, sensitivity and humanity to kill his pows quickly instead of torturing them slowly to death both mentally and physically. the treatment of political prisoners at camp kkk is humane only when compared to the treatment of left wing political prisoners of right wing latin american dictatorships and also of the right wing turkish government treatment of their left wing dissidents, at least the prisoners at camp kkk, havent had a blowtorch taken to the soles of their feet or their genitals plugged into light sockets yet.

Release the columbian three

08.02.2002 23:30

becos of this we need to secure the release of Niall connoly, James monaghan and Martin Mccauley who r being held by the right wing junta government of Columbia, as political hostages. There is no physical evidence against Niall Connoly, Martin Mc Cauley or James Monaghan, but they r being held in Columbian prisons, under death threats from right wing junta paramilitary. Niall Connoly, James Monaghan and Martin McCauley were guests of left wing trade unionists and peasants. They were on a purely personal fact finding mission as guests of the trade unionists. their only crime was that they were the guests of the trade unionists, as if associating wif trade union members is a crime.

Inhumane treatment? Three meals a day, medical attention, washing facilities, letters to and from home, the ability to practice their religion, and visits from Red Cross inspectors is hardly "torturing them slowly to death both mentally and physically". I assume your reference to Milosevic is an attempt at a sick joke. As far as the hoods and shackles are concerned, you know they were only used when the prisoners were being brought into the camp.

You mention right wing governments mistreating left wing dissidents. This is true, but don't forget that dissidents in left wing countries suffer pretty badly as well. North Korea, China and Cuba aren't exactly enlightened havens of freely expressed dissent, and neither were the old Soviet bloc countries.
