Charging
George Bush, J. Danforth Quayle, James Baker, Richard Cheney, William Webster, Colin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf and Others to be named With
Crimes Against Peace, War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and Other Criminal Acts and High Crimes in Violation of the Charter of the United Nations, International Law, the Constitution of the United States and Laws made in Pursuance Thereof.
Preliminary Statement These charges have been prepared prior to the first hearing of the Commission of Inquiry by its staff. They are based on direct and circumstantial evidence from public and private documents; official statements and admissions by the persons charged and others; eyewitness accounts; Commission investigations and witness interviews in Iraq, the Middle East and elsewhere during and after the bombing; photographs and video tape; expert analyses; commentary and interviews; media coverage, published reports and accounts gathered between December 1990 and May l991. Commission of Inquiry hearings will be held in key cities where evidence is available supporting, expanding, adding, contradicting, disproving or explaining these, or similar charges against the accused and others of whatever nationality. When evidence sufficient to sustain convictions of the accused or others is obtained and after demanding the production of documents from the U.S. government, and others, and requesting testimony from the accused, offering them a full opportunity to present any defense personally, or by counsel, the evidence will be presented to an International War Crimes Tribunal. The Tribunal will consider the evidence gathered, seek and examine whatever additional evidence it chooses and render its judgment on the charges, the evidence, and the law.
Here are the findings they ultimately came up with:
Final Judgment: International War Crimes Tribunal
Findings
The members of the International War Crimes Tribunal finds each of the named accused Guilty on the basis of the evidence against them and that each of the nineteen crimes alleged in the Initial Complaint, attached hereto, has been established to have been committed beyond a reasonable doubt.
The members believe that it is imperative if there is ever to be peace that power be accountable for its criminal acts and we condemn in the strongest possible terms those found guilty of the charges herein. We urge the Commission of Inquiry and all people to act on recommendations developed by the Commission to hold power accountable and to secure social justice on which lasting peace must be based.
Don't know & don't care to ever find out. The smart move is to just stay the heck out of that treaty & let 'em whine.
Well, now we know what Ramsey Clark's been up to.
Sorry, I can't differentiate at all between all these "world body" morons. I figure if I label them as the U.N., I'll be right about 75% of the time.
I agree with you. It's a matter of hanging on to our sovernty.
I ruled everyone who has joined the kangaroo court being discussed in the lead of this thread guilty of crimes against humanity ages ago. Wanna see the fancy robe I was wearing & the nifty gavel I brought down when I made my ruling?
You're not that far off, though if you were a citizen of some countries, you'd have to take the one at the Hague seriously, while no one in their right mind takes this particular "world body" of morons seriously.
If these benighted idiots manage to elect JK, a self-confessed war criminal, won't that put a crimp on him visiting his good buddies in Europe. Just remember what happened to Pinochet when he went to England for medical treatment. Any lawyer in Brussel could have him indicted for war crimes. The leader of the western alliance can't set foot in Europe. Lovely.
In the dark pit of my mind, I wish they would.
In the words of a great American, "Fill your hand you sonofabitch!"
(Yeah, I know it's only a movie. I just don't care.)
This is an independent propaganda exercise by a group of anti-Americans.
It is very much like some of the things which went on during the Vietnam War, such as the Winter Soldier "hearings" which Kerry was involved with. Bertrand Russell held similar show hearings.
It would be interesting to learn who funded this.
Wonder who their process server is?
