This um, Ausie, is probably going to reevaluate whether he is bound by US law or not while he contemplates in a US penitentiary... room and board at um, my expense... (US tax payer).
Yet somehow the American government will not let US soldiers be tried for international war crimes. Boggles the mind.
Bullshit. The US military has tried DOZENS of U.S servicemen for war crimes, including officers (usually the last to be tried so as to use the testimonies of the enlisted men to build even stronger cases against the officers). The Milosovich witch-hunt demonstrates the danger of the international criminal court. Milosovich long RESISTED THE DEMANDS of the Serb populace to go to war, even as SERBS were being slaughtered in mass graves (which the press widely and repeatedly MIS-reported as evidence of Serbs committing atrocities, when in fact, the Serbs were the VICTIMS of the atrocities). The ICC is an unelected, unaccountable body, picked by people who themselves are not elected and therefore has ZERO accountability to the public, and therefore no legitimacy. Feel free to shut the fuck up until you know what the hell you're talking about. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
