At least Schily knew about the CIA renditions:
The "Washington Post" reports that the US government informed Schily in May 2004 about the illegal rendition of the German Khaled al Masri. The then US ambassador Daniel Coats personally visited Schily, the newspaper writes, citing several intelligence sources.
It would be nice if one of the SPD's biggest agitators against data protection, civil rights, and common sense were to be politically held accountable, even if he is already out.
CDU state premiers criticize Union election campaign - Geißler is not one of them, but still part of it:
The former CDU General Secretary Heiner Geißler leveled serious accusations against his party in the same publication. The electorate had rejected the market-radical politics of the CDU just as much as the "ideologically akin Agenda 2010" of the SPD, according to the politician. Geißler called it a "historical irony of party history" that those within the party ranks who had been denouncing the alleged "social democratization of the CDU" for years and had pushed the party leadership into a neoliberal position with this argument, had thereby contributed to the SPD being able to continue governing for another four years.
I admit, I kind of like Geißler, even though he definitely belongs to the wrong political direction. Especially in recent years, he repeatedly manages to point out to his people what they are doing wrong. And since it is the Union, we can be sure that his opinion will continue to be ignored.
How cute. I have this little question game against spam on my site. And I personally find the questions to be exceptionally simple. Downright banal, so to speak. Not worth mentioning, really.
Well, now the question arises as to how the brilliant comment with the text "You are so stupid" could come about - and with the text added by my system that the corresponding commentator gave the wrong answer to my little question game.
Cute, really cute.
