Aussie and Aghast are correct. There is concrete evidence that Jim Given singled out non-americans. I knew Jim Given extremely well, I had a lot to do with his two sons, as I lived on the base. I knew what was going on, I reported it, nothing happened. Some of you will know who I am and some of you will know what happened to me in my childhood at Numonohi. I am a male, I was physically abused once by Jim, it was minor and my father and I dealt with him at the time for it. I am not deluding myself that after 30 years I will ever get an apology or compensation, but for my female MKs sake I would like Jim Given brought to justice.
What we need to know in New Zealand and Australia is, where is he and what is his middle name? We have quite a few details so far. We also need to know did Jim Given rape any one? If he did, then he will have one very big shock coming to him, when he is caught.
You have two choices:
a) You can wash your hands of this and say "well at least it wasn't nice little American girls he got" and wash your hands of the matter. Also thinking they'll never get him to pay the price so far away. If he raped a little girl/s he is not safe when we find him. The wheels were set in motion yesterday with the appropriate authorities. Our efforts may grind to a halt, in which case this whole sordid ephisode will be handed to investigative journalists with all abusers names and whereabouts named. The media already has a whiff that a big story is brewing and they are itching to go. We have nothing to hide down here.
b) You can get proactive and help us get Jim Given to Justice. In exchange when the time comes for you to investigate others we will give you a hand and let you access our evidence.
If you are thinking this will blow over, you may wish to consider the implications this could have when it gets into the media. Australia and New Zealand are backing the U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq, it is not popular with the public down here. If Australians find out that U.S. citizens abused/raped Australian citizens and then covered it up in our own backyard, the Australian public will go toxic so fast you will wonder what has hit you. To keep the peace and our troops in the middle east, the U.S. government will not think twice about sacrificing a couple of geriatric paedophiles rights to a nice retirement. NTM Australia will be in for a very hard time and the shock waves will hit Sanford.
Think it over, talk to your conscience, your face book friends, your god (if you must) and then decide. What happens next could well be over to you and sit on your conscience for a long time.
And if you were an abuser of a Commonwealth child (and remember Canada is part of the Commonwealth), might we suggest you come clean very soon.
