    Happy New Year?

    There is only one place for people like Saddam Hussein, Charles Taylor, Robert Mugabe, and (oh, yes) Dick Cheney & Co to be tried, and that is the International Criminal Court.

    I sincerely hope that President Obama hears this message, and commits the USA to supporting the ICC.

    And assuming that he wont, perhaps NOW is a good time to start a pressure group?

    NB: It's just past midnight on New Year's Eve here in Australia, and I'm here commenting on Glenn Greenwald's blog. Yes, it's (still) that bad from an international perspective. Please, please, wake up, America!
