BIden's statement on Saudi rape victim's sentence.

[gateley]

Yep, he made one. They will all make one because the media will ask all the candidates for a quote. They'll all condemn it because they're ALL good people.

I'm not getting the point of these threads...

2. Biden's statement

Another 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Senator Joseph Biden, co-author of a bill mandating an international strategy against gender-based violence, also condemned the sentence.

"I'm outraged by the decision of a Saudi Arabian court to punish the victim of a brutal gang-rape," Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee said in a statement.

"I call on King Abdullah to exercise his powers and overturn this sentence if the Saudi courts do not reverse their decision immediately.

"I also would urge him to undertake reforms to prevent similar miscarriages of justice in the future."

5. Not funny at all. Why start a thread about it then not post it?

There is nothing funny about this despicable situation

All human rights violations need to be condemned loudly and often

7. Please see my post highlighting legislation Biden has introduced. Takes your

"condemned loudly and often" a step further.

9. I don't think your response

was really called for. No one said it was a funny situation....merely that 2 of us posted the info you were poking us for. apparently you agree with his comment, since he condemned it loudly...

[gateley]

6. And since I DID post the statement, much to durrrty libby's amusement, I'm sure -

want to be sure this part of it isn't overlooked:

Senator Joseph Biden, co-author of a bill mandating an international strategy against gender-based violence, also condemned the sentence.
