None of the surnames are the same so I presume they aren't siblings or family members. Do gangs in the US get one lawyer or one for each gangmember? While their crime is indeed hideous, they are still entitled to whatever their society gives them to ensure justice is done. What is PC about that? Or is it the fact that they're immigrants that sets them apart in your mind? Does that fact mean they don't get the same rights? Who's the idiot that didn't consolidate the use of the interpreters since the expense was so great to the public? Sounds more like a bureaucratic/institutional problem then anything related to political correctness.

I see your point. "PC" was not the way to go. Helluva story though, wasn't it.

Is America the only nation that goes to war based on a bald-faced lie to its own people, then commences to bankrupt its Treasury due to conducting a nation-building exercise?

No; the europeans have been doing it for centuries but now they don't have the capability of fighting a war on there own;much less assuring there own defense since WWII.

I don't believe so unless I've read all the wrong books and had lousy public school teachers.
