Bush for Nuremberg?

Bush Could Be Prosecuted for War Crimes

A fascinating piece above reveals that a Nuremberg Chief Prosecuter says there is a case for trying George Bush for sumpreme crimes against humanity and an illegal war of agression against a sovereign nation. It may sound like stating the obvious, but the weight is in the source.

How practical would such action be? Slightly more worrying is one of the comments from a reader in Holland ...

"As was stated, the ICC is situated in The Hague, The Netherlands. As part of their megalomania, a resolution was enacted by the USA, that would 'justify' an invasion of The Netherlands, in case any American was held in prison by/for the ICC. To subsequently free this person.

Because any American accused of war crimes could only be propaganda from america's enemies, of course. And would only be used against the USA. and whatever more reasoning.

That means that basically the USA declared war on my country, an sovereign nation, that has a State Lottery older than the USA...A long time ally of the USA.

So you see nothing is sacred.

Of course, my country's government was totally inadequate in the reacting to this highly aggressive move."

With nobody else interested in signing up, it seems the US military is increasingly relying on neo-Nazis to fill its ranks. No wonder we're seeing additional atrocities in the war zones.

Forget North Korea for a moment, it seems India has just test-fired its own new long-range missile. So why no concern about this from the international community? In this case the test was sucessful and the country's nuclear arsenal somewhat greater.

The fashionable theory for containment of carbon emissions and nuclear waste seems to be the idea of "burying" it. For Amerika, the new "service industry" in Russia seems all too willing to provide such a solution. Big problem - a report today suggests that increased global volcanic activity would result in frequent "leaks". Also the latest Climate & Energy Report.

Two interesting pieces on medical pot at Counterpunch this weekend. Frontline treatment for childhood mental disorders and Big Pharma's epic quest for cannabis without euphoria. Both suggest that normally silent sources have come to the realisation that the product has its uses. Also on the drugs front, in Scotland alcohol is now cheaper than water.

In the UK, Blair is off on yet another holiday. No surprise there! It is however a slight surprise that his embattled deputy, the increasingly "Press-Caught" Prescott, has been cleared to run the country in his absence again.

After a long absence, artist Gilbert Shelton returns with a new Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers strip which is published online for the first time. For further escapism, you might even try reaching the 10th Dimension. Find out how.

Later.
