Ewen Allison, Esq. is, of course, right. We should not sacrifice justice for anything. It is also important to express critical feelings about malformed personages who themselves deride the notion of natural justice, and/or who have systematically caused others to be denied such justice. Our frustration is heightened by images of suspected offenders being handed over to their own guilty kind for investigation and by the complicity of nations using their votes in the UNCHR to prevent the establishment of an impartial inquiry into gross human rights abuses. I would prefer to see trials launched while the evidence is present. If the orcs prefer to evade trials, I would hope as many of them as possible can be honourably killed in battle.

In Nuremberg, Goehring et al. got theirs at trials |that were not up to today's standards, but they also had some of the rights |of a fair trial. We need to decide how conscience-less we want to be |ourselves. Otherwise we risk becoming the thing we abhor. | |Ewen Allison, Esq.|Genocide Remembrance and Prevention Network |http://www.gen-net.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is the Neither public email list, open for the public and general discussion.
