Are there other underlying nuances that we just can't capture in this kind of debate? or are there situations and circumstances that we are missing to include in our desire to end this horrendous act of our government against its people?deus ex machinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734495209045535666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499859064694863448.post-153509938137101572009-06-27T23:27:55.726-07:002009-06-27T23:27:55.726-07:00this could potentially turn into a really big issu...this could potentially turn into a really big issue against the arroyo administration. i wonder how president obama will handle this.<br /><br />just thinking ms. roxas was a little lucky, wasn't she? she still got away alive.<br /><br />why was she picked up and tortured in the first place?betterphilippineshttp://www.betterphilippines.comnoreply@blogger.com
