In Praise of the Turks
According to recent news stories, a Turkish hospital ship has taken on board 250 wounded from the fighting in Misrata:
Turkey's foreign minister ordered the ship into Misrata after it spent four days out at sea waiting in vain for port authorities to give permission to dock, said Ali Akin, head of consular affairs with the Turkish foreign ministry.
It arrived under cover from 10 Turkish Air Force F-16 fighter jets and two Navy frigates, he told Reuters.
These people take their humanitarianism seriously.
