How U.S. opposition to international court jeopardizes U.S. troops

(FindLaw) -- Even after the recent, tragic attack on the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad, the United States was not willing to unreservedly support a U.N. Security Council resolution to help protect U.N. and other humanitarian workers. Instead, the U.S. greenlighted the resolution only when its reference to the International Criminal Court (ICC) was deleted.

It's not the first time that the United States has put its opposition to the ICC before other important goals: Last year, in an unprecedented move, Bush withdrew the United States as a signatory to the ICC's statute, which has been ratified by all other Western democracies. But it ought to be the last.

The U.S. government's hypocritical opposition to the ICC
The U.S. government frequently blasts other countries for human rights violations. It also frequently supports -- or even, in the case of Iraq, seeks to initiate -- war crimes prosecutions against other country's leaders. But, at the same time, it refuses to acknowledge that what's good for the goose, is good for the gander.

I'm amazed that this was published by a mainstream outlet...

Probably far from it. The VRWC has shown repeatedly how a determined, well-financed, coeterie with plans can easily tie-down and weaken an organization that is unaware it is under attack.

Between the Bushevik Psyoppers and the "above-board" Confederate Broederbund (or VRWC or whatever you want to call it/them) that is some powerful parasitization and disinformation we ae talking about.

But even at this stage, which I would guess to be no more than 30% Bushevik/Mockingbird, CNN/Corporate TV Pravda already looks like a grotesque pantomime of the Free Press (relatively speaking) that we used to have and handed over to the Money.

So it ins't surprising that occasionally, some unscrubbed or uncensored article passeds the Bushevi gauntlet to squeak out.
