MADRID, Spain, Dec 29, 2002 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- Spain's top anti-terrorism judge accused U.S. President George W. Bush of supporting international crime by rejecting the International Criminal Court and curtailing legal rights of people accused of terrorism.
"Bush says no to the International Criminal Court but says yes to international crime," Baltasar Garzon said in an interview published Sunday in the Madrid daily newspaper El Pais.
The Spanish judge complained that the Bush administration has curtailed the rights of detainees being held at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. About 600 men at Guantanamo have not been formally charged and have had no access to lawyers or courts.
The United States has renounced the newly-formed International Criminal Court over concerns of politically motivated prosecutions of U.S. military and citizens.
Garzon gained international fame in 1998 for trying to prosecute former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet on human rights charges.
Garzon also accused the Israeli government of committing terrorism against Palestinians.
"When the Israeli government attacks the Palestinian population with missiles or destroys the houses of a village because a suicide terrorist is from there, it is also acting with terrorism methods," he said.
Bush says no to the International Criminal Court but says yes to international crime." Not wanting to eat is not the same as throwing food away. Unless, of course, you subscribe to the view that there is no middle ground, as the leftists do.
Garzon also accused the Israeli government of committing terrorism against Palestinians. "When the Israeli government attacks the Palestinian population with missiles or destroys the houses of a village because a suicide terrorist is from there, it is also acting with terrorism methods," he said.
Terror is a kind of fear. When someone, as Israelis do, warned you in advance about the distruction of your home, you cannot have fear: possibly anger, anguish, hate --- but not fear and certainly not terror.
Isn't it also telling that, when speaking about Bush the judge also spoke of Israelis? It's about taking sides, isn't it, and not about principle? This man is the judge. G-d help the Europeans.
Time to dig his picture out for the dartboard. It must just frost his Cheerios that Pin8 is going to live out his life quietly in Chile.
BTW I would not advise Garzon to pay a visit to Chile. The Chileans are not too happy with him.
