He should go further and tell its members that they could also be risking arrest if they visit Britain in the future." Yup - and it's not within the power of any UK body to prevent that - if (e.g.) Holland issues an international arrest warrant, the UK is obliged to arrest and extradite. I think Shrub is really looking for retrospective "Get out of Jail free" cards for the CIA because they already HAVE broken international law. And I don't think he's going to get them. It's staggering to watch the USA going the same way as Chile without a peep from its population. --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 379/45 1 633/267 |
