Mark Zuckerberg's repudiation of Covid-era censorship is welcome. But it's not enough, say Josh Stylman and Jeffrey Tucker. Without a public reckoning they will just do it all again when a cause seems urgent enough.

Ingrid Betancourt is unwell

category international | environment | other press author Sunday April 06, 2008 19:45author by Archiver Report this post to the editors

some comments on the situation


President Sarkozy who in asking for the release of Ms Ingrid Betancourt from captivity
made a remark that shows his incredible lack of diplomacy and was probably why his
spouse led the march for her release in Paris today. He said that if she dies then FARC
will be 'responsible for the death of a woman'. Many government leaders are so responsible,
but to use the media to allow such a statement travel like a virus through our world
was badly judged and dangerous. Ms Betancourt has endured six years of separation from
her mother and her children and is unwell, being on hunger strike.

Everyone wants Ingrid freed.

The Sarkozy remarks are printed in the 'Weekend' section of the Irish Times and have been
diseminated , doubtless, around the globe. they are badlly chosen and do a disservice
to someone who has and is suffering greatly. its not a 'fashion' issue to make a derogatory
statement at a vulnerable time. It was misjudged, misguided and wrong.
