...Klein's cover story was very dangerous and misleading. No matter what the latest conclusion is from some of the government's analysts, the President of Iran has threatened a U.S. ally with extinction. It is a suicidal ideation to believe that he is not one of the most dangerous people on the planet. When Iran becomes a greater threat, perhaps more Americans will finally understand that his pockets may have been empty, but not his armory. Silas Mariano, OCEANSIDE, CALIF...

Public opinion in Chad, on the other hand, has broadly accused the court of letting a cabal of child traffickers working under humanitarian cover off lightly. Some local commentators fear the transfer of Zoé's Ark staffers back to France could set off another round of anti-French and anti-government rioting such as that witnessed ahead of the trial. At those riots, Chadians vented anger at white, European suspects receiving deferential treatment...
