A Brit Abroad

Bookmark and Share
My name is Terry and I'm a 50 something year old dis-enchanted ex-pat Brit living in Cyprus. Why am I dis-enchanted? You'll find reasons enough throughout my tumble log, along with quirky items that amused me and things I think need highlighting, and occasional quotes from some of my favourite novels. Oh, and maybe some original work of my own.

I saw [name of a translator] ******* a kid, his age would be about 15 to 18 years. The kid was hurting very bad and they covered all the doors with sheets. Then when I heard screaming I climbed the door because on top it wasn’t covered and I saw [name] who was wearing the military uniform, putting his **** in the little kid’s ***…. and the female soldier was taking pictures.

Further down I read the following ……

The translator was an American Egyptian who is now the subject of a civil court case in the US.

…. and I ask myself what this case is doing in a civil court. This is a criminal act by any definition. If this had happened to a civilian inside the US borders the local DA would be screaming for the maximum sentence and garnering as much publicity for themselves as possible but it appears that a young Arab boy outside of the US doesn’t warrant any legal protection from US military personnel.
