Wrong Passport
07 Feb 2007From a Deutsche Welle analysis of the Kurnaz case:
Legally, Berlin was under no obligation to protect a German-born Turkish citizen imprisoned in Guantanamo. But moral and political responsibility for a permanent resident unjustly detained is another matter, experts say.
Um, right, like the German government is going to lift a finger for me if I ever get in trouble. Let's just say that if I've got one phone call before I get shipped to the Gulag, I'm calling the embassy with the blue passports, not the one with the red passports.
