You could get the same deal with an African witch-doctor for a lot less money and the scenery would be much better ~ maybe a dramatic flourish where they leave your body for the animals in the forest.
Hence, my reference to them as a third-world hellhole.
This is just one of many reasons why the Swiss as individuals, or as a government, can no longer be trusted with anything.
No sand traps but some pretty severe water hazards on that course.
I agree!!
Yeah, well, I might give Human Rights Watch a little more attention if they spent any time going after folks like Quadaffi, the mullahs in Iran, Castro, or any of the leftist dictators in Africa. Those folks have repressed their own people for years, using torture, and the threat of it, as the main vehicle.
the source as stated,
“rights groups said Saturday”
LOL, F’n yayyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaa
I’ll believe this when Bush’s spokesperson confirms it.
That’s one hell of a water hazard!
Ha, I didn’t see your post before I made my comment! GMTA!
I read both articles. I the one posted here (not yoru link) it says:
“Criminal complaints against Bush alleging torture have been lodged in Geneva, court officials say.”
that was posted by Reuters ... interesting that the AP and Reuters would have two opposite accounts on the issue.
Normally when there is spin it is cloaked .. this is a direct statement.
I would like to find out exactly what “court” said that they have charged lodged and who did that interview.
It sure is!!
