Thumbs down Philippines never-ending political killings under Pres. Gloria Arroyo

Quote:
The Philippine military-police team may have thought they could get away with coming in uninvited by an American legislative body looking into reports of Philippine extra-judicial killings to air their propaganda, but learned too late and embarrassingly, that they couldn’t, as the US Senate panel chairman, a clearly upset Sen. Barbara Boxer made it clear that the univited Philipine military-police team should not be around during the hearing on allegations of human rights abuses, stressing that the presence of these generals would have an intimidating factor for the resource persons.

Reports quoted US Senator Barbara Boxer as saying her panel had made it very clear to the Arroyo government not to send any military, any police and intelligence agents, but despite the Philippine government saying it won’t send any, it did anyway.

A very distinctive President Gloria Arroyo diplomatic technique of a madwoman. Hope the US Senate and Senator Boxer will not be taken for a ride by this madwoman from the Philippines.
