Hillary Clinton Plays Russian Roulette with Justice

Truly, my fellow Americans, why are we more JUST than the EVIL Russians and Arabs with whom we share our planet?? Just recently, a Moscow court decided to jail an oil tycoon. According to Clinton, (and too many of our allies), the US Secretary of State said Mikhail Khodorkovsky's conviction raised "serious questions about selective prosecution and about the rule of law being overshadowed by political considerations." Although Khodorkovsky, 47, and his business partner, Platon Lebedev, 54, were found to be guilty of theft and money laundering by a Moscow court, critics like Clinton say the trial constitutes 'revenge' for the for the tycoon's questioning of a state monopoly on oil pipelines and propping up political parties that 'oppose the Kremlin'. Clinton's censure was echoed by politicians in Britain and Germany, and Catherine Ashton, the EU foreign policy chief, urged Moscow to "respect its international commitments in the field of human rights and the rule of law." Isn't it a shame that these same "human rights activists" have nothing at all to say about British Petroleum's contamination of our gulf seafood, which, according to New Orleans environmental and Gulf oil attorney Stuart Smith, is currently a danger to public health, since our FDA has simply overlooked an important aspect of safety in their protocol. But, then again, MONEY talks, and, in the case of Clinton: "Bullshit Walks". For detailed info about the remaining oil problem, check http://www.examiner.com/human-rights-in-national/gulf-oil
