Associated Press has reported that Canadian pop singer Nelly Furtado will donate the $1,000,000 fee that she received for performing for the Gadhafis in 2007.
Reports also indicated Beyoncé, Usher, and Mariah Carey have also performed for the dictator and his family.
What have these entertainers done with their integrity? Have they no shame? Don't they realize that performing for tyrants validates them, and that the fees they receive are tainted with corruption and the blood of their people?
It's one thing to donate funds, the likely overage of ill-gotten gains.
It would have been far more admirable if these performers had declined to perform for that ruthless dictator and his extended family in the first place.
