  1. Painful.Heartwrenching. Following the links emphasises the bizarre out of touch world we live in:
    Peter Osborne’s eye witness account story of Memory, the victim, in the Daily mail, sidelined by cheesy photos and stories of Aguilierra’s breasts, and other shallowness of the lives of the rich and famous …sickening.
    And we stress over the price of gas…

  2. George W,…er uhm
    Proof of torture- That can only mean: the moral relativist-abu Garib,/Guantanamo (comfy chairs are torture too) morons should be around in 3, ..2, …

  4. richfisher,
    Come on now! This story is nothing in comparason to the horrors suffered by those poor unfortunate Iraqis who have been tortured horribly with the unspeakable suffering of having underwear placed on their heads!
    This is why this story is ignored by 9/10ths of the medea and the Iraqi story was covered on the front page of the NYT every day for 7 centuries!
    That and Mugabe can’t be blamed on Bush so isn’t newsworthy…

  5. I have this deep desire to confront Chretien with these pictures of Memory…and watch him sqirm.

    and
    “…”By ignoring Mugabe’s actions creating the famine and torture camps,” Martin says, “Prime Minister Chrétien’s ‘African Agenda’ does not have any credibility. The international community, including countries such as the United States and Great Britain, has adopted a tougher stance against Mugabe, yet our Prime Minister prefers to keep his mouth shut while millions of innocent Zimbabweans stand on the precipice of death….”

  6. Let me put on my Liberal Senator Roméo Dallaire blue beret:
    “The physical damage inflicted on this woman is no different than the mental damage inflicted on Mohammed Harkat due to his house arrest in Ottawa.”

  7. This also shows the moral and operational emptiness of the UN. It does nothing about suffering inflicted on people by their governments in any part of the world.
    The UN is a bureaucratic haven, filled with safe, secure desk jobs, whose occupants churn out millions of pages of empty descriptions, recommendations, declarations of ‘human rights’ and so on. All totally and completely irrelevant to anyone but those bureaucrats – whose pay cheques and benefits and pensions are the only result of their ‘work’.

  12. This woman’s horrific injuries are part of the unsavory legacy of African “liberation” movements. When Mugabe’s goons were running around the Rhodesian bush in the 1970’s, punishments like this were routinely meted out as a necessary component of “politicizing the people”, a tenet of revolutionary warfare borrowed from Chairman Mao. The whole point of the exercise was that if you inflicted enough random, extreme violence on a population, eventually the citizenry could be terrified into responding with total, unthinking obedience to every whim of a totalitarian despot.
    Thanks to the unwavering support given by western intellectuals and politicians to African dictators for over forty years, Mugabe has come to believe that he can get away with this barbaric behavior yet again. Judging by the tepid response of the international community to this latest outrage, he might be right.

  13. There is no oil over there, now is there???

    Forget about Oil!
    There is so much mineral wealth in Zimbabwe,like GOLD,silver,diamonds,platinum,palladium,copper,zinc,iron ore,rubies,emeralds,cobalt,chromium,coltan,etc.,etc.,etc.,ad nauseum that finding oil could be nothing more than an after thought.
    Hell there is a Diamond field in Zimbabwe where CARAT sized stones are scattered all over the ground!
    You don’t even have to dig for them,just look down at the ground,bend over and pick them up!

  14. Perhaps no oil, but certainly a good vegetable garden for the PRC, with all those hungry mouths to feed.

  15. Background on Mugabe & Jimmah the Democrat. The left’s memory hole cannot digest this socialist evil.

  17. This isn’t Marxist torture if dissenters, it’s just “unfortunate collateral fallout” in establishing the socialist utopia…just ask Jack Layton, he’ll explain it all to you conservative mouth-breathers.

  18. Classic. If you are under the thumb of a tyrant, and a leftist is your only hope, you are doomed.
    History will record that when GWB and others took action, Iraqis got purple fingers and the right to vote. And rid of a genocidal maniac.
    When it’s up to the UN and the “global community” the people of the world get Mugabe.
    Another point that is made is the brutal pictures were censored by the press. Think they have a point of view?

  20. RW sounds like a typical, all-me-all-the-time Canadian, who doesn’t realize that it’s not all about his/her comfort.
    I’d suggest, RW, that you have a good, hard look at these ghastly photos. Believe me, it’s Canadian squeamishness about hard truths that has brought us the present HRC and other politically correct and repressive travesties. Unless the totalitarian mindset that fuels them–at our expense, in more ways than one–is halted in its tracks, worse will follow.
    RW, if you continue to avert your eyes, get set to see such atrocities as these “pics” happen right before your cowardly eyes. I apologize if this seems harsh, but, as Edmund Burke apparently said, “All it takes for evil to triumph is for good [wo]men to do nothing.”
    Having a good, hard look at evil, and acknowledging its existence, is the first step to confronting and vanqushing it. RW, please give looking a try.

  21. The problem of evil…is a decidedly human problem. I’d dearly love to line the unprintable illegitimate offspring of a diseased dog against a wall without benefit of blindfold. There is only one problem: when do you stop? How high a body count are you willing to incur to force a nation to adhere to some standard of civilized behaviour? To act, not a global cop, but as planetary parent? How much control are you willing to impose? How much wheat are you willing to mow down to get the weeds?

  22. How high a body count are you willing to incur to force a nation to adhere to some standard of civilized behaviour? To act, not a global cop, but as planetary parent? How much control are you willing to impose? How much wheat are you willing to mow down to get the weeds?

    I would agree with your questions, but would approach it from a different perspective:

    How much genocide are leftists willing to tolerate before they put an armed soldier in between evil and the innocent? Show me where the liberals of the world have stood between evil and an innocent child with anything other than good intentions and platitudes?

    They are worried about a dubious degree of warming in 50 years, while people tonight are living in fear and squalor.

  23. Why is it so hard to realise that this is a fallout of colonialism. I know, I know, colonialism was a fine thing that did so much good.
    However you would have to be a duffer to think Mugabe would still be a president if he had no anti-colonial credentials.
    We all know that when white folk ruled Zimbabwe, nothing bad ever happened.
    Not that I want this guy in power- I want him out fast. However this wailing about socialism is a bit bizzare, since he is only a socialist insofar as he is anti-colonial and anti-colonial legacy.
    Of course, if your name is Dennis, you probably think that colonial Zimbabwe was paradise.
