What about handcuffing the baby too?

The French media and Frank Moulet's fan club were both shocked and moved to tears last month by the "unacceptable" conditions in which the French student spent his so-called "20 days in hell" in the NY Rikers Island jail.

Frank Moulet himself insisted on giving his full support to Guantanamo prisoners. French Guantanamo prisoners. "We don’t even know if they are alive", he added.

Meanwhile, on December 31, 2003, a woman, prisoner in French jail Fleury-Mérogis, was giving birth handcuffed.

Justice Minister Dominique Perben was "moved" Tuesday "by the unacceptable conditions in which a young woman prisoner" in Fleury-Mérogis had to give birth handcuffed on December 31. Mr. Perben ordered that the surveillance be ensured outside childbirth rooms from now on . . . . Hence he asked the "head of the penitentiary administration to give written instructions to prisons directors so that women give birth with dignity".

The famous dignity Moulet's lawyer was talking about, I assume.

"No legal provision justifies such conditions of supervision", underligned the Minister of Justice concerning the December 31 childbirth during which guards accepted to leave the childbirth room only after having handcuffed the pregnant prisoner.

Where are you now, Frank? Back to France, right? What about this woman's dignity? What about "methods of another time"?

You know what, Frank?

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
