Subject: Another flourish by Adolfo


Despite Adolfo's strange attempt to kick the ball into touch,
(I don't think he realises that some English leftists
are hoping for a German win this Wednesday) 
Adolfo has still walked into the open trap.

The same crude logic is applied to me  - "your boss Howard" -
as is applied to Quispe - "agent of Fujimori" 

- and worse still to  
a man facing deportation to Peru. That according to Adolfo
is just a charade of no consequence for human rights because by
some piece of merciless logic, the affair has been constructed
by the agents of Fujimori.

And Adolfo's anti-revisionist logic extends to summary execution,
with much humour about the salt mines, and the purges. 

Condescending or not, I am just pointing out to Adolfo that
the longer he presents himself with this sort of logic the more
he will expose his credibility to other members of the l'st.

Too bad if he finds me arrogant. It sounds pretty arrogant to 
me to suggest, "If I want a Labour
MP to do my shoe laces, I'll get a dozen whenever I want"

In New York, people might be working hard to try to press the Senate 
foreign relations committee to intervene for Calero, like they did for
Berenson, but Adolfo can get a dozen labour MP's in London whenever he
wants.

I'm not impressed by Quispe's jibes about Adolfo being senile,
but this sort of political machismo is a bit long in the tooth.
