2 British girls arrested for drug smuggling in Peru

Um, one of them is Irish...
It actually annoys me how they're presumed to be innocent (the Irish girl anyway) and the Irish govt is up in arms with nobody thinking for a moment: they were on a plane, at least once, and they couldn't get a note to someone in authority if they were being pressured or threatened? And it wasn't just a few grams: we're talking like 11 kilos here! They're lucky it wasn't Singapore: don't they have the firing squad for that there?

I'm sorry but I have no sympathy for anyone who allows themselves to get involved in something like this. There must have been a dozen ways they could have alerted the authorities. What about "arranging it" so that they had to go through the red channel or something? Innocent dupes my foot!
