Comunist China holds NOLA Mayor Ray Nagin HOSTAGE!, page 1

Under the guise of "quarantine procedures" Communist China has taken New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin hostage.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and his wife were being held in swine flu quarantine by the Chinese government Sunday.

The mayor, his wife, Seletha, and a bodyguard were put on ice in Shanghai after flying in Friday on a plane carrying a passenger who had symptoms of the new flu.

Further proving that this is a hostage situation and not a quarantine procedure as Beijing would like us to believe is this (unfortunately from Fox News)

Monitoring his phone calls like a criminal awaiting trial, Nagan faces the possibility of execution if the Chinese government goes the N. Korea route and decides to charge the mayor with espionage.

Will the mayor, his wife, and their bodyguard get out of Communist China with their lives? Only time will tell.

Ah such compassion for a fellow American being held against his will in a Communist country.

If your name replaced Ray Nagin, how would you feel if someone said that about you?

The man is a hostage when international law forbids the detaining of official persons traveling with diplomatic immunity.

There is NO WAY that China would ever even consider executing Nagan. I don't even understand how we got from quarantine to espionage... much less execution.

He's under quarantine, not a hostage. If he shows no symptoms, he'll be out in a couple of days. Like everyone else.

Unless the Chinese government decides to trump up some bogus espionage charges against him from his monitored phone calls.

And if he does show symptoms? The Chinese don't have the best human rights record on the planet. He may face the firing squad for having the swine flu.

Come on man.... can you show any evidence of China executing anyone for having swine flu? Can you show any evidence of China executing a high profile foreign politician on trumped up charges?

OK, I give up. What possible reason would you have to suspect that he'd be executed if he is found to have the flu?

No one has been so far, and everyone who has been quarantined has said that while it was an inconvenience, the Chinese officials and hotel staff treated them very well. Why would they suddenly start now, with one of the most high profile mayors in the world?

I know it's a conspiracy site, but some of you have the tinfoil ear flaps tied a bit too tight. It's cutting off the circulation.

I'm sorry but to think that the Chinese are interested in a small time crook like Nagin, is ludicrous at best!! To quarantine is their usual protocol when it comes to the the new H1N1. They learned that the hard way with the Bird Flu. Too bad Mexico didn't follow suit.

Here's what the Consulate General has to say about Chinese Quarantine Procedures.

Decide for yourself.

Seven days is a good amount of time to build up a nice espionage case or possibly even charge Nagin with terror crimes by using a biological weapon against the peoples republic.

How about this, a friendly wager. If they charge him with espionage, I will acknowledge that you were correct. Then I will contact the mods and ask them to IP ban me so I can't post again, since I am obviously out of touch. And if they don't charge him, you come back and post that you were wrong and ask for an IP ban of your account?

Deal?

How about this. If they charge him or execute him you apologize, if they release him unharmed then I do.

No need to ban anyone.

There are after all worse theories on this site. Least this one has China's historical record of human rights violations to back it up.
