JUSTICE AT LAST----Six French journalists detained on arrival at Los Angeles, sent back to France. Reporters Without Borders today protested against the detention of six French journalists on arrival a week ago at Los Angeles international airport to cover a video games trade show and their forcible repatriation after being held at the airport for more than 24 hours.
"These journalists were treated like criminals (The French? Criminals?) - subjected to several body searches, handcuffed, locked up and fingerprinted," Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Robert Ménard complained in a letter to the US ambassador to Paris, Howard Leach. LINK Reporters Without Borders wants the U.S. to allow anybody who speaks French into the country without Visas. In fact they are near to being a pro terrorist organization and their desire is to encourage the free transit of every terrorist in the world. Reporters without Borders is 44% funded by the EU, and you know how they feel about us. UNESCO supports it and other usual suspects support it too. The only thing they care about is knocking the U.S. in every way they can. They rated the U.S. 17th in Press Freedom behind, surprise, France and Norway, and other anti-Semitic countries. Right now they are busy accusing U.S. Military of deliberately firing on journalists; you know the ones who were paying bribes and taking bribes from Saddam so they could live in luxury at the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad.
