"Two officers from an elite coast guard unit were seriously injured during an Olympics security exercise Friday after a gun fired accidentally."
"The officers were injured in the security drill at the main port of Piraeus, the merchant marine ministry said. They were hospitalized with wounds to the neck and shoulder, a ministry spokeswoman said."
" 'The gun fired ... while the officers were having a break during a routine exercise,' a statement said, adding that an inquiry has been ordered."
------- If these "stellar professionals" can't even take responsibility for their negligent discharge, how will they protect the disarmed audiences at the Olympic games? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
