Bob McKellar iterated.....
Bob McKellar, who voted for Bob Kerrey for President long ago .....and having erred grievously will now have to live with hearing "More waffles than IHOP" dance about the political griddle, sucking up to every special interest group which can rent or borrow a hall. TMO |

Special Bonus: John Dean is not Howard Dean Bob McKellar, Who actually heard Bob Kerrey at a press conference, after a long leading question, give the simple answer "No." |

Well, you disagree, no doubt. That is why your President and all others down the chain of command should have a chance to make their case before the ICC. Cheers, dba I would love to make our case to the ICC. I would think 100MT would express (Sod Off) our position sufficently, don't you? Jim |

Well, no, you haven't. You seem to have left out all the detail
requiring "a distinctive uniform or insignia", a recognized chain of responsibility for the actions of the combatant in the field, etc. Now, a lot of those restrictions were removed in one of the more recent addenda to the Conventions; an addition that neither the United States nor Afghanistan signed or accepted. Does a pok-a-dot Towel on the head and a beard count as a uniform? No I guess not and well chain of command was pretty loose... Oh well |

Oh well Actually an armband or any distinguishing mark counts as uniform. The rules were changed to stop people like the Nazis shooting resistance fighters out of hand.

There was a decision (sometime in the early 1970's, I think - don't have a cite handy for that one) which essentially held that the United States military, due to the exigencies of military service, was a separate society and that the rights of its members were only those guaranteed in the UCMJ and those from the Constitution did not apply. -- "We come into the world and take our chances.

You mean the Supreme Court that turned the 14th amendment on its head (their reasoning was that my neighbor's vote shouldn't be counted because it "dilutes" my vote -- well, yes, as it should in a democracy) in order to select George Bush as president? No I am talking about the Supream court that stoped the Fla Supream court from changing the rules after the election when there boy lost. I will also note severial liberial news agencies (NY times,CNN etc) counted the chads and it was a non-issue as even counting the chads Gore still lost Fla. Jim |

I wonder whether the difference between a criminal conspiracy that gets the law and one that gets war isn't mostly size. Which rules they get after capture seems to be something of a political decision. (Certainly the navy was needed to deal with pirate bases at times in the past.) ____ Peter Skelton |
