Now, not to denigrate the language skills of the Danish people, but really, folks, under what circumstances is capital punishment considered to be an award? Well, obviously, compared to a life sentence of waterboarding, one might prefer a quick and painless death…. on the other hand, the story only caught my eye because the crew in question in the original weapons drop was supposedly Latvian, as was the aircraft involved. Interestingly enough, the Russian government was sufficiently interested in helping these people to grant the Russian citizenship and pressure the Indian government to release them…. now I am not a conspiracy theorist, but this would lead me to assume that the country of Latvia had little or nothing to do with these events. ….
