Yes, I recall that Amnesty International did not consider Mandela a political prisoner, because he was convicted of a valid criminal violation.

Nelson Mandela and five other senior statesmen will today form themselves into a team of international troubleshooters called "The Elders".

Will they get special powers, like X-ray vision or being able to leap tall buildings? Of course, all socialists have the power to make money disappear.

Actually, this is a great idea. Get’em all on the same aircraft, and then blow it out of the sky.

"The League of Jimmy Carters."

Didn't Jimmuh certify Hugo Chavez election in Venezuela? Heres what CATO Institure had to say about that:

Page 12-13 --

Reports by international observers (the Organization of American States, the European Union, and Spanish Congress) during the last two electoral events, in 2004 and 2005, found that the NEC’s activities lack transparency.

Fourth, the Electoral Registry is deeply corrupted. It includes, according to the council, almost 17 million voters, a statistical improbability since Venezuela has a population of 26 million, 60 percent or more of whom are too young to register. It is presumed, therefore, that millions of foreigners have been given Venezuelan papers in a very short time in order to swell the registry, which has grown 8 to 10 times faster than normal in the last two years. Gustavo Adolfo Fabregat, a 57- year-old Uruguayan information system expert who resides in South Carolina, has made an analysis of the Venezuelan electoral roll and describes some of the many irregularities, such as the existence of 39,000 voters over one hundred years old.32 This is a number equal to that of the same age group in the United States, where the population is 10 times greater. Of these 39,000 people, 17,000 were born in the 19th century, and one is 175 years old and still working! Nineteen thousand voters were born the same day and year in the state of Zulia. There are thousands of people sharing the same address. This would make hilarious reading if it were not so tragic.

Fifth, the voting machines used by the government belong to a company alleged to have had connections to the government until the Miami Herald denounced this perceived conflict of interest.33 The company that owns the machines, Smartmatic, was created in 2000. Reports have linked its owners to Chávez and other members of his government.34 But Smartmatic and the Venezuelan government deny the company has ever had any type of relationship with the Chávez administration. This company received a no-bid government contract for $100 million in 2004, just a few months before the August 2004 Venezuelan presidential referendum, in which the machines were used for the first time. The results of that referendum were questioned by the opposition but validated by the observers of the Carter Center and the OAS.

Nelson Mandela – Marxist, anti-American, anti-semite, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, butcher, terrorist and terrorist sympathizer.

Desmond Tutu – Marxist, anti-American, anti-semite, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, and terrorist sympathizer.

Kofi Anan – Marxist, anti-American, anti-semite, pro-arab, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual and terrorist sympathizer.

Mary Robinson – Marxist, anti-American, anti-semite, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion and terrorist sympathizer.

Starting to see a trend here!
