Bonn, 24.6.2011
Dear Madam Minister,
the media was seen to this day, they were "a surprise trip" in Libya (ARD, 13.6.2011). They announced there to millions of euros aid for the country.
You, Mr Westerwelle be quoted with the words: "Our visit to Benghazi shows: Germany is a friend and partner of the democratic forces in the country. We will support the National Transitional Council to build a democratic and constitutional Libya's best efforts. " And further: "Gaddafi is on the wrong side of history."
Unfortunately, things are not so clear. Because: Until yesterday, the members of the now officially recognized by Germany rebels Council were still on the "wrong side of history". All members of the Interim Council were government officials or members of the dictator; only exception is the provisional Finance Minister Ali Tarhouni; he lived so far as Professor of Economics in the USA.
The Chairman of the Transitional National Council Mustafa Mohammed Abud al Dschelail until February 21 of this year the Minister of Justice under Gaddafi. In this capacity, he contributed a policy that has nothing and even less to do with democracy, with the observance of constitutional principles.
You know better than anyone that it was mainly the French President Sarkozy, who pushed for a Libya resolution in the UN Security Council. He galloped without consulting with its European neighbors, advance and recognized the Rebellenrat as a legitimate government.
What guarantees do we have citizens with their tax money now to support the Libyan rebels, that you really promote a democratic movement?
On 11.3.2011 it was arrived in Brussels at the EU summit to a scandal: The French States President had pushed for recognition of the rebel council - then the summit participants were faced with serious allegations Bulgarian government members against the rebels:
"The pressure that the French President Nicolas Sarkozy exerted to recognize the Libyan rebels has led to anger in Bulgaria, because Sofia suggests that key members of the Libyan National Transitional Council had directly to do with the torture of six Bulgarian nurses in the North African country were held ten years ago. " (v Euobserver. 12.3.2011)
Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said, according to a report by Bulgarian news agency "Novinite" the same day, told reporters at the European Summit in Brussels on Friday, March 11: "I told [against EU leaders] that representatives of this Council in Benghazi people are having the Bulgarian medical personnel tortured for eight years and that this cost us nearly £ 60 million ha t. "
The Bulgarian Government members referred to have been debt with subsequent death sentence on five Bulgarian nurses the terrible fate and a physician in connection with unauthorized charges to the AIDS disease in 400 children in Benghazi. In summer 2007, the six were convicted after interventions of the EU (Benita Ferrero-Waldner) return to their homeland.
Dear Minister Westerwelle, dear Mr. Minister Niebel! You owe it to the citizens of this country owe to pursue the question of which members of the Libyan rebel council have been guilty according to the information of the Bulgarian government in the torture of the accused wrongly Bulgarians.
Romanian President Traian Basescu said during the same EU meeting in Brussels on 11.3.2011 also serious concerns about the Rebellenrat: "According to reports, the Romanian President Traian Basescu also doubts about the credibility of the rebels, which expressed during a discussion among EU leaders a tantrum ["angry outburst"] at Sarkozy and the result was the presiding German Chancellor Angela Merkel prompting to remind the rest ["call for calm"]. "(v Euobserver. 12.3.2011, see above)
Dear Madam Minister! You will agree with the requirement that these serious allegations must be investigated and indeed as soon as possible.
Against this background, there is a certain comfort that you, Mr Westerwelle, are at least true to their word: "The fact remains that Germany does not participate in any combat operation in Libya."
A policy of restraint, as you pursued Germany from the beginning is more than justified before the indicated background. As long heavy Folterfürwürfe standing in the room, no one in Germany understand that taxpayers' money to support rebels, whose commitment to democracy may not be more than lip service to a strategic advantage in the struggle for power in Libya.
Sincerely and asking for early education

The open letter is an excellent initiative. I have the same questions and am therefore on the answers very excited. Who has not in the power of this carousel Couleur skeletons in the closet? Average consumer is applying to a job posting, the internet will immediately durchleutet about his past. In the case of Obrigen and upwardly aspiring Alpha Animals allowed the most equal, because one could encounter an international arrest warrant, which would then be enforced.
Funny letter. But are selbsterwürgte corpse mountains in the basement not everywhere the first trademark for elite fitness in modern power operation? And this is not true also for the whole European power elite? Also in Balkanesien?
The endless waiting for the answer, we can sweeten with counting the remaining days in office of Guido us initially. Why did he keep us out also for this dinky war of aggression? Horrido joh! - That would have been too ... Germans to the front, the big cleanup 3.0 is ready ...
