Doing Washington's bidding: Australia's treatment of Daniel Duggan : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 6/3/2023

The increasingly shabby treatment of former US marine Daniel Edmund Duggan has again shown that the Australian passport is not quite worth the material it's printed on.

Daniel Duggan. Not a name on everybody's lips. And, if BK doesn't like what's happening to him, it is probably the right thing to do.

A number of years ago I was thinking of teaching English in China. I had done the paper work and was getting ready to go. Then I got a letter from a Chinese official. I could get a much higher status and get paid much more if I would teach about computers. I thought if I insisted on teaching English I would get continued pressure from the Chinese government to teach about computers. If I taught computers I would be aiding the Chinese military because that's who my students probably would be. I ended up not going to China.

BK is a good barometer that we are doing things correctly.

now that Australia has willingly committed itself to Armageddon in lock-step with US forces in any conflict with the PRC,
Binoy Kampmark,
Willingly or not, in a conflict between the US & PRC the whole World will be lock-stepped with whatever is being unleashed !

Disagree with anti-American, Binroy.

Daniel is still presumed innocent there and here. And will be given all the legal protection the US system and their bill of rights guarantees. He has the right to remain silent etc.

He nonetheless is not being held nor extradited for nothing and has a case to answer? Doesn't he?

He could do an Assange and spend decades inside, or simply agree to the extradition and take his chance with an eminently fair American justice system, which possibly could find him, not guilty?

Binoy conflating the names of various characters, like Hicks, here posing with a rocket propelled grenade launcher "RPG" https://content.api.news/v3/images/bin/86b8d8ad8589a7034de2fa4e1bb14951 at terrorist organisation, Al-Qaeda's, Al Farouq training camp near Kandahar, Afghanistan...

actually does a disservice to Binoy's latest cause
"poor" US Marine Aviator Duggan who Voluntered
to train Chinese pilots (pilots frequently flying against Western pilots, including Australians)

earning Duggan big money...
