They’re blaming the Bulgarians. Of course, there are no Jews in Libya, but that never stopped Jew-haters from blaming us before.
TRIPOLI, Libya Dec 19, 2006 (AP)— A court convicted six foreign health workers Tuesday on charges of deliberately infecting 400 children with the AIDS virus and sentenced them to death, setting off shouts of joy in Tripoli.
The verdict, which will be automatically referred to Libya’s Supreme Court, drew quick condemnation from European nations, which have charged that the five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor were being made scapegoats. A Western medical study, released too late for the trial, said the infections occurred before the medical workers came to Libya.
I can’t believe the trial was anything other than a kangaroo court, what with it being Libya and all.
The nurses and doctor have been in jail since 1999 on charges that they intentionally spread the AIDS virus to more than 400 children at a hospital in the city of Benghazi during a botched experiment to find a cure for the disease.
Western nations blame the infections on unsanitary conditions at Libyan hospitals and accuse Tripoli of using the six workers as scapegoats.
Gee. Ya think?
Sad. These poor people are going to be executed because Libya can’t face up to the fact that it’s a third-world craphole with a lunatic dictator making things worse.
When I read things like this, I thank God I was born in America. In fact, I should thank God every day of my life that I was born here, and that my ancestors were wise enough to emigrate from Europe. Thanks, Big Guy.
