EU must act against US on rights and using white phosphorous - North Korea

http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=6318928&cKey=1134578125000

<snip>He said the United States got away with abuses without scrutiny from the international community, especially Brussels.

"The first thing we would like to see fully discussed is the use of white phosphorous bombs by the U.S. against Iraqi civilians," he said in his residence in a west London suburb.

"The EU position on that is not strong enough."

He said the United States had escaped criticism of alleged secret CIA camps in other countries, allegations of enhanced interrogation techniques and prisoner abuse in Guantanamo Bay and Iraq's Abu Ghraib.

1. I agree.

I get the sense that the vast majority of the international community think we've committed some war crimes here and no one is pressing any fucking charges (or whatever the international equivalent might be). Are they waiting for the US government to stop and prosecute the US government or what?

I hate to agree with North Korea because they're probably far worse then we are, but when you're right you're right.
