Today I’m reminded of a movie called, “Breaker Morant.” This
1979 film depicted the fictional murder trial of three Australian soldiers
during the Boer War tried for killing a German missionary thought to be a spy.
It depicts political correctness at its best when it is revealed that the
private plans of Lord Kitchner for ending the Boer war including sacrificing
their own to further his agenda by enacting an orchestrated semblance of justice for the accused.
The reason for this recalled memory of a movie is the
remarkable resemblance to the Border Patrol agents Campion and Ramos having to
report to prison for doing their job. It seems to me whoever scripted the
charges, the prosecution and the trial was a big fan of the play written by
Kenneth G. Ross back in 1979. The defendants in the movie were given one day to
prepare a defense, tried, convicted and summarily executed with great
expedience and as in the case of Campion and Ramos, they were doing their duty
and being prosecuted because they did it well.
The House of Representatives passed two resolutions 39 and
43 on January 16, 2007 but
they were to honor the football teams that won their respective bowl
appearances and mentioned nothing concerning the outrage associated with the looming
imprisonment of these Agents.
The Whitehouse sans any action or comment on this issue but
has the time back in December to pardon drug dealers because their parents made
large contributions to the republican party.
The final insult is the Judges denial of the request to
remain free on bail while the drug smuggling scum walks free and is suing the
Government for 5 million dollars after again being caught smuggling drugs.
There are many things that disgust me about this
administration this one takes the cake. We as citizens should demand a
better choice than the two morons paraded to the public in the last election
because these are the type of consequences we reap from apathy. My
anti-incumbent agenda is alive and well and I see no reason to change come
2008!
