Good News For A Change

Libya decided to act like a country that respects legal precedent and procedure and freed the five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor accused of infecting children with the AIDS virus (noted here).

The charges were trumped up and ridiculous from the start, but fortunately, sanity prevailed (the whole situation reeked of a shakedown scheme for the children’s families; the losses of the families were terrible, of course, but to allege that medical professionals would do this was monstrous – as the kos post notes, scientific data clearing the workers was disallowed at their sham of a trial).

I’ve had a little bit to say about this (nothing special, I know), so I just thought I’d note that this was resolved fairly for the six medical professionals who had suffered way too much over this already.
