The most cruel history this summer

A Danish woman is going to be extradited to the United States due to some claims of her participating in some kind of drug operation.

But the police in the United States won't send the papers needed to explain what she is charged with. They just demanded her to participate in kind of show trial.

But is those documents correct. It would not be the first time Danish courts are fooled by American papers. Kirsten Chesnut discovered how her child was stolen from her and while he is now 18 and can travel to see his mother a lot of opotunities and a bright future were stolen from him.

Even when her son Christian made it into an university with a scholership, it is nothing compared with the level of education he could have got in Denmark if the Danish court system hadn't made this terrible error back then.

It is common knowledge that Danish students who take a year in High School in the United States cannot get credits they can use in a Danish High School. The level of education in Denmark is simply too high. It is not the level in a single subject that is the problem. They don't simply teach whole people in the United States. They train to pass a test or exam. They have no social life as alcohol is forbidden for youth under 21 where we in Denmark need to apply a certain level of security so our students can spot a youth not drinking - a potential suicide bomber - at distance. A very important matter in a time where we have a war on terrorism where the criminals most important weapon is road side bombs and suicide bombers.

So Christian Chesnut and his mother had their lives destroyed.

Not it is another woman - Camilla Broe - who is facing what will result in her death, if she choose to seek justice.

Most people in the Danish legal world recommend her to seek a plea bargain, because a trial could take years. If she accept whatever charges they can invent - true or not - she can return to Denmark within 6 months, where she will get a new sentence which based on the fact that she hasn't committed any crimes since her arrival in Denmark many years ago would be a suspended sentence.

It won't be justice but with a primitive justice system like Florida where kids are being crushed every day, none can expect better.

So it is not a happy summer in Denmark this year and the cases have meant that people in Denmark are beginning to question both our participation in the war on terrorism, our soldiers presence in Afghanistan and even our membership of NATO
