re possible war crimes indictments - Bush, Blair and Australian PM Howard

read all for info on Lord Goldsmith meeting with Condi Rice legal adviser, John Bellinger...

Interview with Philippe Sands QC, Professor of Law at University College in London.
PHILLIPE SANDS: ..the possibility really can't be excluded if Messrs Blair and Howard at some point in the future travel after they've left office to a country which, for example, has an extradition agreement with another country where you have an independent prosecutor like the independent prosecutor in Spain who initiated the investigation of Senator Pinochet, a request for extradition or for investigation or questioning has happened in the case of Mr Kissinger could happen...

MSM fix-ating on 'fix'

Sat Jun 11, 2005 at 02:49:43 PM PDT

like minds?
PBS NEWSHOUR: SHIELDS AND LOWRY
RICH LOWRY: The major phrase in there that is causing a big stir is the intelligence was fixed around the policy. And I think people are interpreting the word "fixed" the way you would say fixed the Belmont Stakes this weekend, which is not the way it was meant.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/political_wrap/jan-june05/sl_6-10.html

Weekly Standard: Tod Lindberg: A fix on Downing Street
"Fix" here is clearly meant in its traditional
sense, in the sort of English spoken by Oxbridge dons and MI6 directors--to
make fast, to set in order, to arrange.
http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/005/719ltdun.asp

USA Today: Mark Memmot: `Downing Street memo' gets fresh attention
Robin Niblett of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, says it would be easy for Americans to misunderstand the reference to intelligence being "fixed around" Iraq policy. " `Fixed around' in British English means `bolted on' rather than altered to fit the policy," he says.

the above is from aljazeera, but it also
comes from news agencies, as does practically everything aljazeera reports these days.

corporate media has kept to 18 killed for hours on end, despite knowing the facts...
