[Nettime-bold] Regarding the NY5

["Ivo Skoric" <ivo@reporters.net>]

Regarding The New York Five case, two things strike me as unjust:
1) if this was a group of all-American drunk frat boys, and not five 
guys with a strange accent, would the case been treated under the 
Patriot Act and would the FBI be called in to investigate? 
Particularly in the case of Bosnian who holds US citizenship, this 
is a clear case of discrimination, I believe.
2) There were a Serb, a Croat and a Bosnian on the wrong side of 
the gate - yet Serb and Croat were put in deportation proceedings, 
while Bosnian wasn't. Why? Because the INS solved Bosnian 
immigration cases on a "fast track", so the Bosnian is already a 
citizen, while a Croat is in Kafkaesque asylum process for 8 years 
already... This is, also, discrimination.
