It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I want to see how she's going to explain this. :lmfao:

Does the Ugandan government have a reputation for being on the level?

A long history of being on the level.

The charges were dropped.  I don't see that she has anything to explain.

The charges were dropped. 

The charges were dropped, according to the man himself, due to political pressure from the Bush admin, which does leave open the question of whether the charges had valid basis.
But another question is whether she should have to answer for all the actions ever taken by anyone who happens to work for her.

True, though it appears that there were serious questions about what the charges actually were, and how and why they were dropped.  I'd call it a pretty clear case of shenanigans on the part of both Waldron and the Ugandan government.

QuoteBut another question is whether she should have to answer for all the actions ever taken by anyone who happens to work for her.
Probably true, though she should have to answer charges about why she would hire someone who had actually been convicted of spying, terrorism, gun-running, or whatever it was that he was actually arrested for.

His role in advancing the "kill the gays" bill is nothing you find worthy of explaining?  :huh:

It's not like the Bachman campaign has been pretending to be gay-friendly.

True which makes her more vulnerable to accusations she was backing the 'kill gays' bill than she is a backer of terrorism.

I haven't seen anything that says he actually advanced any bills in Uganda. Got a link?
