Spain, drugs, and a ? of sport and standards? < <^> <^> > < / \ > ^ ^ From Seattle to Sydney Apart from its treatment of Basque prisoners and their families. Spain has a number of reasons for which it should be proud. It finally ended the Franco regime, regained a royal family, whatever that means. And is even, with the assistance of the UK Home Secretary Jack Straw, ex President of the National Union of Students, "bringing Spanish justice" to bear upon an old friend of the CIA "who went sorta outa control". General Pinochet of Chile. When one thinks of this wonderful nation. Picasso, flamenco, the advance of tourism through sunshine, a young Seve Ballesteros and golf ;-) one also thinks of it with affection. And as a paid up member of the European Community. The dictatorship in Chile killed thousands of innocent people. But so too, depending upon his understanding of what is right and what is "people unfriendly", may be one of their own. >From his native Catalonia A man from quality Spain, a man of title. A man who has prospered through decades by his use of high level Franco contacts and local sport. And who now sits at the head of one of the most corrupt eras of an organisation purporting to speak both on behalf of the spirit of the flame and the international community. Over the next few months, the behavior of this man and his affluent cohorts from around the globe will either bring badly needed relief and encouragement to millions currently suffering from their own or their loved ones misuse of hard drugs, or an Olympic sanitized death to far too many. For it is the Juan Antonio, the Marquis de Samaranch and his over powerful quango, the International Olympic Committee who will decide if they will stand up for a history wherein proudly, South Africa was barred from competition in Tokyo in 1964. And during the build up to Sydney, ban an ethically unrepresentative team from the Burmese military junta from Olympiad 2000. Why? Because 86% of all the heroin on the streets of the host nation, comes courtesy of the Rangoon junta. Which in turn, launders all the cash. And as the spotlights shine on the latest IOC twist to "regain their image". The honest truth may be that the Marques and friends already know the score on Burma and Australian heroin. So maybe it is time that Spain took to task its own human rights and heroin double standards, and straightened out one of their own. Would someone be kind enough to mention this to them?
