Law of averages. If there are totally innocent people in the group, there are
also totally guilty ones.

"Wer einmal luegt, dem glaubt man zweitens nicht" (old German saying, roughly:
"Catch someone in a lie and you'll never believe them again"). Trouble is that
at least some of these "guests" were handed over to the Americans by the EU
soldiers who caught them. So who's lying?

So don't bitch if their solution doesn't happen to satisfy you. Their problem,
their solution - either you're involved or you're not, and if not, the whole
thing is none of your business.
