Well, well, well.... so much for fucking accountability

Yes, very nice that they wanted to bring Guantanamo to an end, very laudable....

But as USUAL, with the US, they want to shunt everything off to their 'Allies'.

The big news which has caused a firestorm of discussion here is that they are demanding that the EU countries take over the current detainees, and deal with them.
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE? How was that again?

Have had the flu for the last thirty-six hours, so maybe it is a fever dream, but no, was just on the news again. Have been hot and cold, and need to get back to bed, and don't have time to Google, but I can't remember anyone over here greeting the creation of Guantanamo. On the contrary, the indignance was off the charts for angry.

So is that the solution? We take all these poor people who have been mistreated for up to eight years, and 'deal' with them?

Good luck to anyone who tries to do THAT.

And all I have to say is the old addage, 'YOU BROKE IT, YOU FIX IT OR PAY FOR IT.'

And THAT is accountability. Asking us to put the shards back together is incredibly arrogant.

Got another fever coming on, so will be blessedly short-winded.

Tja 'necessary' things happening, and things that can be angering. Business as usual.
