Reply #94: a Show Trial is a Show Trial [View All]

[Chicago Democrat]

Perhaps Iraq is the proper venue. There are few examples from history. At least at Nurenburg there was widespread international agreement that a crime has even taken place. What is Aziz being accused of? Does anyone even know? And of course Iraqis should have trial, etc. Whose running this one? Not chalabi's son still? What new scummy lacky? This all based on that bogus enabling act that Bremmer invented does not confer international legitimacy.

Maybe its okay for a US Govt that kidnaps people and tortures them, but its not OK for me. Its not OK for millions of others who see it for what it is.

First of all War Crimes are international crimes like Milosovich is facing in The Hague. But these trials in Iraq are "SHOW TRIALS". Like they had in Stalin's time. Like they had in the 3rd Riech.

I seriously question these trials' validity. What are the charges? Who'se defending the prisoners? What about all the collusion of the Reagan Bush Administration in these so called war crimes? Why isnt the Iran Iraq war part of the war crimes? Gee was there any Iraqi 'war crime' that the US didn't completely support at the time?Will we ever know the truth? but what I do know is that the so-called Iraqi government was set up by "Viceroy" Bremmer and that makes me suspect everything that comes out of it.


History demands a full accounting and a real full war crimes trial of Iraq atrocities along with the US officials that approved them.
