[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of moron takes drugs to Russia?[/quote]

She claimed she packed quickly.

She's a great player, but not the sharpest blade in the drawer.

She's a scapegoat and a pawn, poor woman. She doesn't deserve this.

She should get fined and deported. Not jailed. That's absurd and EVIL. Like the Russians. Visit a Ukrainian graveyard if you don't believe me. [/quote]

There are a number of US citizens that are wrongfully (trumped charges, overkill in conviction and sentencing, serving time in a max security prison) imprisoned in countries with dictator or military rule. She has served all the time she should on what she had in her possession and for her stupidity. The two hour drives to court and back to the prison in a cage with her legs cramped up will be a lifelong reminder of her missteps.

Remember the young missionary who took a clock or picture from the room while in N Korea?  Where is he now?  He didn't deserve what he got, and when finally released in the same state as a shaken baby, the US didn't dictate whether others N.Korea may have had imprisoned should be released first.

Same in Russia.  Griner is already aware from the letter her lawyer helped write that she is not the only US citizen being held and all should be released. But already Trevor Reed, who has described how horrible his internment was for being drunk on the street and picked up by a local police district to dry out, was released in exchange for someone we are holding for legitimate espionage convictions, before Paul Whelan has been released (for what?).  I don't understand why Russia is holding out on Whelan, and letting him physically and emotionally rot until he's broken in prison.  We won't dictate the terms of who or when Russia will release either American, but Putin is cognizant the continuing to hold Whelan is irritating to the US in general.

These stories from CBS and the Trevor interview on CNN were pretty good to watch or read.
