re: #11 researchok

I don’t believe there was any malice directed at the children.

What is outrageous is that these missionaries didn’t believe the rules applied to them. There behavior is textbook hubris- and they are still claiming they did nothing wrong.

For the record, I support the good work of the many missions who operate and play by the rules and somehow manage not to run afoul of the law or find themselves on the front pages.

But that’s just me.

I agree, and I think that’s the whole point. They’re down there and I’m not and I respect them for that. But they can’t break the law (Not a lawyer, but illegally transporting children across international borders seems to fit) using good intentions as an excuse.
