Diners Club Offers Payment Plan for Vietnamese Brides

I think it's somewhat intellectually dishonest to claim in this particular instance that "people are being sold" etc. Unless you have proof that these women have been kidnapped or are being forced into being mail order brides this claim seems to me to be exaggerated and what you really have here is simply a brokers fee for putting two people together similar to any other match making business.

Can it be abused... certainly... but that does not mean that there IS abuse here, and I think that's an important distinction that should be determined before implying "human trafficking" is occuring.
