Syria's New War Tactic May Target Civilians

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem has issued a threat that in the next war between his country and Israel, Israeli cities will be targeted. Of course, that implies that like Hamas and Hezbullah, Syria will target Israeli civilians.
The Syrian minister's comments show the extent to which Damascus has adopted a terrorist modus operandi that is no different from that of Hezbollah or Hamas. Even though, unlike those groups, it has still not moved its rocket launchers into population centers whose residents are meant to serve as human shields, Israel is obliged to immediately issue a warning, in every important venue in the world, that Syria is acting in contravention of the laws of war. The kind of threat Syria issued requires a response that will ensure that the enemy will continue being deterred from carrying it out. Israel must also counter the ethical and legal implications of the Syrian threat.
I'm sure that warning will ensure that there is a Goldstone Commission appointed to investigate the Syrians when the war ends.

Mugabe and Crimes Against Humanity

The Archbishop of York has called for Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe to be removed from power and sent to the Hague to answer for "crimes against humanity". Dr John Sentamu's call came after Prime Minister Gordon Brown yesterday urged the international community to tell Mugabe "enough is enough". He said food shortages and a cholera epidemic that is spreading to Zimbabwe's neighbours demand a co-ordinated response.

Death Penalty May Deter Rogues

Representative Nadler is doing a great job to keep the pressure on. The Administration put undemocratic directives and laws on the books a road to tyranny. Inadvertantly, they became enemy combatants.
Although I doubt the Congress or the incoming President will do anything about torture, crimes against humanity and murder, the mechanisms to prosecute remain in place.
These may deter evil-minded rogues in the future.

Keep Prosecutions Local

Keep Prosecutions Local

Each one of us has two Senators and one representative. Is bringing down three evil-doers too much to ask? Funding preemptive war and torture constitutes crimes against humanity and murder. If we can't catch them taking bribes, they will fall to a morals charge. To facilitate arrests, the FBI should open its investigative files for public perusal.
So long as sexual deviants don't open themselves to Federal blackmail, I have no quarrel with them.
These measures would work almost everywhere not just the USA.

Crime Without Punishment

My lady friend was a deeply religious Jewess. There was a scandal concerning a local Rabbi and his eleven-year-old daughter. My friend refused to believe the evidence or the Court verdicts.Somewhere in the human psyche lies the ability to complain about our leaders without a corresponding urge to punish them for criminal doings. It's considered bad form.The current Administration has carried this to the logical conclusion. Forgiven of preemptive war, rendition, torture and crimes against humanity, the perpetrators conduct fraudulent bailouts without any attempt at concealment. They are confident neither the public or the Democrats will do anything about the situation.

Opponents Belong on Death Row

If you can't put the opponent on death row, you should shut your mouth.

Unable to find a useful charge from the Bill of Rights, I consult the UN 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Working with 30 Articles, I can find something to charge the culprit with crimes against humanity.

A rightwingnut can't take a breath without violating one Article or another. If he has actuated his words with deeds, he is dead meat. Anyone who is really interested in prosecuting public officials can do this in his spare time like a hobby.

Sue Them

In Israel the crooks sent me a summons to the wrong address, so they could say I refused it. Then, the judge would rule against me with a behind the back decision. When I did get proper service say for 10am, the judge would begin my case at 9am.
The Supreme Court told me to go home and rewrite my suit. Then, they wrote a behind my back decision to pay $2000 in court costs. There are actions pending in the European courts accusing many Israeli judges of crimes against humanity. Maybe, we can get them for failure to appear.
A US Embassy official mocked me. "Do you want us to send the Marines?"
"Hey! That's a great idea." I said.

Punishment not Rhetoric

Punishment not Rhetoric

Concerned Americans could combine to form class action lawsuits in Europe. Charges would include crimes against humanity and murder one. Anyone who promoted, funded or covered-up the illegal activities in Iraq could face trial. They would come from the three branches of government.

If the US authorities refuse to co-operate, the trials could be held in absentia. Then, the perpetrators would realize they had not gotten away with anything. Eventually, they will be punished.

The U.S. Establishment Media

Glenn Greenwald, Salon.com

Most certainly, the press will pretend to be above it all ("this is not something that we, the sophisticated political journalists, care about, of course"). But they yammer about Drudge-promoted gossip endlessly, and then insist that their own chattering is proof that it is an important story that people care about. And because they conclude that "people" (i.e., them) are concerned with the story, they keep chirping about it, which in turn fuels their belief that the story is important. It is an endless loop of self-referential narcissism -- whatever they endlessly sputter is what "the people" care about, and therefore they must keep harping on it, because their chatter is proof of its importance.

They don't need Drudge to rule their world any longer because they are Matt Drudge now.

Every day, it becomes more difficult to blame George Bush, Dick Cheney and comrades for their seven years (and counting) of crimes, corruption and destruction of our political values. Think about it this way: if you were a high government official and watched as -- all in a couple of weeks time -- it is revealed, right out in the open, that you suspended the Fourth Amendment, authorized torture, proclaimed yourself empowered to break the law, and sent the nation's top law enforcement officer to lie blatantly about how and why the 9/11 attacks happened so that you could acquire still more unchecked spying power and get rid of lawsuits that would expose what you did, and the political press in this country basically ignored all of that and blathered on about Obama's bowling score and how he eats chocolate, wouldn't you also conclude that you could do anything you want, without limits, and know there will be no consequences? What would be the incentive to stop doing all of that?
