Consistency




I see that the Kangaroo Kourt did its job.

A big-time war criminal got (partially) convicted in his show trial.

And that's OK with me, I guess. War crimes trials could be worthwhile. But only if they get the big fish, too.


Anybody seen this guy lately? Call Crimestoppers at 1-800-THE-HAGUE.











Kangaroo Kourt Update: as usual, IOZ says it much, much better.
So congratulations are in order, as we have finally managed to convict Osama bin Laden's driver of driving Osama bin Laden. His barber will have an easier defense, no doubt. "But, but, I didn't do anything!" Thank you, I'll be here all week.

"Providing material support for terrorism" is a war crime? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Goebbels, what kinda world we livin' in? "The prosecution’s theme was that, however small his role may have been, people like Mr. Hamdan make al Qaeda possible." You're too small to be a terrorist, Hamdan, but I like your moxie.

Didn't Hitler's driver meet a similiar fate? Sorry, but I've been on vacation and out of touch with the news and its context.

Jim,
The key sentence in this show of Pentagon Politics is, "It remains unclear what will happen to Hamdan once his sentence is served, since the U.S. military has said it won't release anyone who still represents a threat."

If I were this guy, I wouldn't get on an airplane anytime soon (LOL).

As the Poor Man said yesterday: now Col. North just has to go to jail.
