Anyway, it is funny that indians NOT the bengalis themselves like to bring up this issue..
We can take a moral highground in a lot of things when we compare ourselves with the US, but this is one area -- raping of women by the army and then going scott-free - -where we cant do that. Look up the hamidoor commision report and see for yourself. Even if one muslim bengal sister got raped by any of our valiant jawan, then the jawan should have had his penis chopped off with a rusty axe. Didn't really happen, did it? I am with OG, seminole on this one. At least let us not be hypocrites.
MANILA (Reuters) - The Philippines foreign secretary will ask the United States to hand over four U.S. Marines accused of raping a Filipino woman when he visits Washington next week, officials said on Monday.
Alberto Romulo will relay Manila’s request for the immediate handover of the four soldiers, indicted by a Philippine court on December 27 for the rape of a 22-year-old woman, during a trip to Washington from January 17 to 22.
“There is pressure from the government to have custody over the U.S. soldiers,” a senior Philippine diplomat told reporters. “The secretary will definitely take it up with U.S. State Department Secretary Condoleezza Rice.”
** Good on PI government for sticking to thier guns, lets see if they can get justice done for the poor victim of the sexual peversions of the US Military/Navy !**
