and you want them behind bars? - ham - 04-19-2010
It really amuses me how some here can hold their breath waiting for some of the jackasses on the payroll of the accreditation cartel to go to jail for the many obvious violations which they are guilty of.
The Italian humanitarian group Emergency is of left wing persuasion. They have set up a number of hospitals in war or disaster-torn zones such as Cambodia, Aghanistan etc.
There were talks of a nobel prize to the founder Gino Strada.
They've been very outspoken in the denunciation of abuses and 'mishaps', such as when invader...ops...peace keepers get it wrong and blast encampments full of civilians of color...in a climate that worships the recovery of shoe boxes containing the remains of hundreds thousands victims and the consequent ongoing denunciation of atrocities from several decades in the past on the basis of absolute ethical imperatives, one would surmise Emergency's denunciations be worth a nobel prize...
Think again...
They've recently been framed by the straw man government in Afghanistan for allegedly orchestrating a political assassination on behalf of the Talibans who had allegedly paid $500.000.
Well, how the Talibans may need to pay $500.000 to a few wops operating a hospital-encampment, in order to carry on their deeds is beyond me, but there they were witnesses and informants and more witnesses and secret service reports.
It sounds like mafia style intimidation to me, eh?
As soon as Emergency agreed to quit the area, all accusation fell as mysteriously as they had appeared...well, maybe the informant got it wrong this time and the witness meant another guy, eh?
Now occupying forces are free to clean house without anyone blowing the whistle about nonsense such as slaughtered civilians of color...I mean, come on...you can stretch the joke only so far, eh?
Do you think Emergency got the message right?

In the past the scope of the offenses committed by the accreditation cartel was usually confined to running small startup and religious oriented schools out of business. Sometimes people went to jail on trumped up charges, but until recently I don't recall people actually dying en masse as a result of their statist meddling.
But now the picture has changed dramatically. Thanks to Gollin and his buddies you have allegations in court that hundreds of poor people were denied medical care as a direct result of bribery, extortion, shakedowns, and similar facts suggesting criminal conspiracies, all done under the bogus pretense of "fighting diploma mills."
If this isn't the situation to raise cain and put an end to these meddlesome statist liars, I don't know what is. So if you mean that Gollin and his ilk are the equivalent of Taliban terrorists, I agree.
If you are saying it's naive to think that the billionaire higher ed cartel is going to allow any of their suckups and lackeys to take a fall for this, you probably are right. But that doesn't mean we should sit quietly and watch that happen. Decent people can make a difference.

Let's get out of there so Karzai can get the Najibullah treatment and sing soprano for Allah. The country isn't worth saving from themselves. Let's make a deal with the Taliban that if they play nice with us they can freely treat their people like dog crap. Couldn't happen to nicer people.
