  Amnesty International: Israel involved in "grave breaches" of international law
 
(...) It is a little jarring - letting Sharon [a war criminal] enforce "justice" is crazy. I don't think the *current* Israeli government can be trusted to act on human rights abuses. I’m not alone: Amnesty calls for arrest of Israelis for war (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Encouraging news from the War on Terrorism
 
(...) Aw, shucks! Well, I'll harp on that string until it breaks. The Portland story was news to me, but I was struck by its resonance with the Pittsburgh episode.

  Encouraging news from the War on Terrorism
