POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
This entire business is overblown nonsense - puffed up in
the press owing to American efforts to make this resemble something from the
Cold War.
In fact, neither this man nor his family has ever been in
any serious danger.
He has managed to leverage the propaganda possibilities into
free emigration to the United States.
With all the genuine horrors in the world - the United
States is killing innocent people every day in half a dozen countries - it is
pathetic to see the press giving any play to this non-story.
