This story, and especially Obama's denial of any knowledge (and of course involvement), reminded me of Canto XIII.
And they said: If a man commit murder
Should his father protect him, and hide him?
And Kung said:
He should hide him.
And Kung gave his daughter to Kong-Tch'ang
Although he was in prison.
It is of course unthinkable in today's political environment that Obama might admit that he knew she was in the country, and that he did not turn her in. But would we really have expected him to do that?
There is still a need for Confucius.
