Cover up.
It might be OK since it is not coming directly from that site, and it has been reworded...I think. But be careful what sources you put faith in believing. Some sites out on the internet do a lot of “Trumping” up of the facts in order to be sensational. For legal reasons then I am not saying what sites that may be.
Heh.
I’ve posted canadafreepress articles...there has never been a problem...and I find this site credible also.

It was done all through WWII, what would stop it now, if our so called authorities don’t have the guts to pursue it- thanks Holder. Obama and Holder have no idea the reaction they would get if this was to happen- the last straw, really.
Does a diplomat still get immunity if he tries to blow up a plane??
Ask nicely.
Put the bastard in jail for a few years at his Country’s expense. Immunity should draw a fine line between a misdemeanor and a felony.
