A week after the 10 hostages (including 8 foreign nationals) kidnapped by the Bakassi Freedom Fighters were exchanged for the release of 13 prisoners, Cameroonian blogger Le blog du Prési wonders what a hostage is worth. ”I don't mean ‘what does a hostage cost?'”, he writes. “Even though these would be the worst criminals, are their lives so futile that they can be exchanged for those of other human beings? At the very least, on this path, Cameroon is redefining the rule of clemency, liberating prisoners under duress, and at the same time exposing the victims of these prisoners to their terrorizers.”

Bono upsets me. I am amazed that he is taken seriously, especially after reading comments of his as reported from TED by Ethan Zuckerman and Mwenye Macho. There is an important debate to be had about how we can address poverty in the context of international relations. But his inaccurate and ahistorical comments, often about the experience of Ireland, debase the debate.
He calls for greatly increased aid but isn’t willing to contribute himself The company that gets the royalty payments from the work of U2 last year moved from Ireland to Holland to benefit from a ‘friendlier’ tax regime….
