Reports from Rwanda of the second court appearance of Paul Rusesabagina reveal an old pattern of presenting an accused as being already-guilty.
Rusesabagina appeared in pink prison garb, and his head had been shaved. So much for the presumption of innocence. And the purpose of shaving the head is to humiliate an individual who has earned the respect of people around the world. Whatever transpires in the Rwandan court, the question must be asked: why have the U.S. and Belgium, where Paul was recognized and praised, now begun to "look the other way?"
