Bush Renews Anti-Human Trafficking Law

Tuesday, January 10, 2006
(01-10) 12:04 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --

President Bush signed a bill Tuesday to combat human trafficking, saying thousands of teenagers and young girls are brought to the United States each year and "forced to submit to unspeakable evil."

The bill renewed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, the first comprehensive federal law for prosecution of traffickers. The Justice Department reported late last year that it had prosecuted 277 traffickers since 2001 and obtained convictions in every case. An estimated 75 percent of the prosecutions involved sex trafficking.

Victims have been found in brothels, bars, sweatshops, clandestine factories, restaurants, massage parlors and even private homes where women and girls are kept in servitude.

Bush watches over all

1. It's only OK if Dyncorp and Halliburton do it. n/t

2. Banks of Crooks and Criminals International (BCCI) should

be where Bush directs his efforts. The head of the bank, Abedi, bragged that he could get a boy or girl for his clients anytime. Of course BCCI is closely associated to Saudi elites and the Bush Family.

3. There was probably a signing statement, just like the torture bill ...

"No human trafficking ... unless I think it's necessary."

Then again, maybe there wasn't a signing statement. He probably thought he was outlawing traffic jams! :P
