Not a bad excuse, as lame excuses go. Governments and companies around Europe are “unhappy” that Google is here to compete. Publishers in Germany complain that [...]]]></description>

If the guy was jailed for killing over 200 people, he wasn&#8217;t very &#8216;humanitarian&#8217; to others, was he?. Then, why free him on &#8216;humanitarian&#8217; grounds?
