Do We Want That Kind of Friend

The occupied White House attracts the kind of friend that tortures, executes, and emprisons, must have something to do with their war criminal nature. We're paying off the Pakistan government even though they're not doing what the administration says we want them to do, ferret out the perpetrators of 9/11. What they are doing is really nasty.

The human rights organisation, Amnesty International, has called on Pakistan's new government to provide information about hundreds of disappeared people.

Most are said to be held by the country's security agencies.

Meanwhile, Amnesty says the Pakistani government continues to deny the undeniable.

They quote President Pervez Musharraf who has dismissed their claims as nonsense.

According to him, the "missing people" are under the control of militant organisations.

But when Pakistan's higher judiciary started to exercise its power and secure the release of a number of missing people, the judges behind the move were sacked by President Musharraf in late 2007.

He said they were interfering in executive matters.

Amnesty International has now called on Pakistan's new Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to act immediately to resolve all cases of enforced disappearance.


The government of Afghanistan maintains that the most part of the insurgency there is coming out of Pakistan, and we go on supporting the military action in that nation? Goons are just one of the failings of the administration's foreign policy.

It is past time to stop throwing money at enemies of their own people.

I'll bet a nickel that Michelle Obama in not proud of this policy. And neither am I. It's disgusting.
