1. I had no idea that Geo.Bush, jr. cancelled a planned trip to |
|
Switzerland because of fear he might be prosecuted for war crimes authorized under Swiss law.

It was delicious. It is also delicious that these murderers cannot just go traveling around the world, and are kind of banished to North American House Arrest!
If it looks like an international Pariah, and quacks like an international Pariah......

2. Holder's lads will likely jump on this puppy like ugly on an ape. In reality, any other country |
|
making noises like it will prosecute alleged war criminals will likely to be taught a lesson and made to realize you don't mess with our Tutu. :patriot:

Wasn't Spain recently talking about prosecuting GWB and company, and received a message from Obama suggesting they lay off?
Anybody else remember something like this? Within the last year or two?

6. Hopefully more European/foreign countries will go down that |
|
road for their own sakes as well. It is vitally important that the US and the rest of the world realize that torture and illegal imprisonment of detainees joins the ranks of other humanitarian evils.
