The Bush Administration seems to be beyond the law. They have declared that International Law does not apply to them. That seems appropriate to the sole nation that dropped nuclear bombs, effectively on civilian targets. Nor it seems in there estimation does American law apply either. With the exciting, breathtaking Olympic Games about happen when the clock zero, or zero-eight three times, why bring up old news. Short answer: that is what people who write books, such as Ron Suskind do.

Suskind’s new book is called The Way of the World. Hubbush, Saddam’s intelligence chief, revealed that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. According to MSNBC, via Truthdig, the White House dismissed Sukind’s book as “gutter journalism”, denying the existence of the a forged letter, purportedly written by Hubbush, another charge made in the book. The following you tube sets out the case in trenchant terms:

Scott Horton Interviews Michael Scheuer at Anti-War.Com. Scheuer was the CIA’s head of the bin Laden Unit.

There is a problem with the Terror War: the invasion of Iraq was in the terms of the Nuremberg Tribunal apparently as blatant a crime as any perpetrated. Will those responsible stand trial? The conventional wisdom is no, yet the people found guilty at Nuremberg were hanged. Were they in retrospect murdered? Will the truth be told?
