Well, the first thing I want to say is that I am glad my wife-to-be and I are not going to Bermuda.
The second thing I want to say is, this is just another example of incompetence from the Obama administration, as their desire to give Gitmo prisoners freedom and luxurious vacation blinded them tno some standard diplomatic protocol.
Senior aides to President Barack Obama accompanied four Uighur prisoners as they were flown from Guantanamo Bay to the British colony of Bermuda, without the UK being informed, it was revealed yesterday.
In an escalating diplomatic row over the transfer of the former terrorist suspects, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discussed the transfer with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband in what was said to be an uneasy conversation. Privately Whitehall officials accused America of treating Britain, with whom it is supposed to have a “special relationship”, with barely disguised contempt.
One senior official said: “The Americans were fully aware of the foreign-policy understanding we have with Bermuda and they deliberately chose to ignore it. This is not the kind of behaviour one expects from an ally.”
Perhaps one of Obama’s defenders here can explain how this improves our image in the world?
