Rice Calls on Libya to Release Nurses
:eyes:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/rice

SOFIA, Bulgaria - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that Libya must release five Bulgarian nurses imprisoned on charges they intentionally infected children with HIV while doing AIDS research.

"The Bulgarian nurses have been too long in captivity," Rice said following a ceremony to open Bulgarian military bases to wider U.S. use. "This is a humanitarian case and it is time for them to come home."

The issue has complicated the warming of U.S. relations with Libya.

The nurses and a Palestinian doctor have been held in Libya since 1999. They were convicted in May 2004 on charges of intentionally infecting children at the al-Fath Children's Hospital in Benghazi as part of an experiment to find a cure for AIDS.

1. And I demand we stop torturing prisoners. Who ya gonna trust?
Sigh.
Either that, or incarcerate Rice for trying to be a spokesperson for us, and failing/flailing badly.
Now she's trying to piss off Libyans? And she's so very good at pissing off everyone.
Ok, rant off.
Sigh.

2. I'm guessing
she wants to recruit the nurses for use elsewhere. Assuming the charges against them to be valid the Bulgarian Nazis should be left to rot where they are - experimenting on children indeed..
