It's been Museveni's line for years. Decades, actually. Me, to be frank, I'm pissed about the attention Mwenda is getting. It's not nearly the most-urgent case. Sure, he needs to get justice. But so does the rest of the world. @Mwangi: What you call Mwenda’s perspective is, in fact, Museveni’s perspective. It’s been Museveni’s line for years. Decades, actually.

Of course the UG govt won't make decisions in the interests of people when most of its funding is coming from AID. I also like the fact that he was able to give Bono a different perspective on what he was doing (No country has ever gotten wealthy using the begging bowl) and hopefully that will help all Westerners who sincerely want to help do so correctly. Best of luck to Andrew, if any petitions need to be signed or any word needs to get out there post it up on the blog and we'll spread it.
