French group 'lied to Chadians about children's fate'
"A FRENCH journalist arrested with members of the Zoe's Ark group in Chad as they tried to fly 103 African children to Europe said yesterday they had displayed "dramatic amateurishness" and lied about their plans.

Marc Garmirian, one of three reporters released on Sunday, interviewed members of the group during the operation and filmed them putting bandages on children to make them seem injured before their planned flight to France.

"I realised rather quickly that in what you could call the investigation, or the interviews they conducted with the children or the people who brought them the children, they displayed a dramatic amateurishness," he told TF1 television.

Six of the ten Europeans still in custody are members of Zoe's Ark, which has said it intended to place orphans from Darfur with European families for foster care and that it had the right to do so under international law."

If stealing children is allowed under international law, what else is allowed?
