I’m not sure I made a point, other than that google is not the best
way to search for old news.

Try: http://www.guardian.co.uk/ :)

Nice try, but when I entered “Amnesty International Iraq Humiliating
Video” in their search engine I got *Zero* links. That’s what I’m
talking about with the internet erroding the news archives, because
I’m pretty sure they did have a news article on this at some point.
It’s just gone now.
I did manage to find my way to an archived UPS article on the 2nd

Did he actually say that’s why he didn’t sign it. My opinion is that
the ICC is a good idea whose time has not yet come. Perhaps when more
of the world is run by elected governments that can be held accountable
for their actions, we’ll be ready for some sort of world court system.
Have patience.
