(quote begin)
However, the "free self-determinism" of those Criminal Minds
who managed to get themselves into a position to direct the
affairs of a country,
was supposed to end, with the advent of the United Nations
Organization (which started with the League of Nations). *(1)
'
What was omitted then - the basic, natural law required to function -
'The First International Law' (FIL) {HRI 20021124} reads as follows:
'
Criminal Minds are NOT allowed to govern a people,
a country or state, or federation of states;
that IS the First International Law. {I-01}
It is an INTERNATIONAL Law, because, quite
obviously, the population of the region,
country, state, or federation, failed to
prevent a Criminal Mind from acquiring
such a position of leadership. {I-01-A}

Romeo Dallaire made a passionate presentation before a committee on
Human Rights when he talked about Omar Khadre.
His main point was that by not objecting to the US charges against
Kahdre because he was a child soldier, the Canadian government is
endorsing America's flaunting of International Law. The law applies
equally to all Canadians, whether or not you agree with their actions or
beliefs.
General Hilliare looks like a bafoon compared to Dallaire.

Canada losing moral standing over treatment of Omar Khadr: Dallaire
Last Updated: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 | 9:47 PM ET
Comments144Recommend90CBC News
Canada has sunk to the moral equivalent of al-Qaeda by failing to treat
Canadian Omar Khadr the same way it treats other child soldiers, Liberal
Senator Roméo Dallaire said Tuesday.
Dallaire, who appeared before a foreign affairs committee on
international human rights, said Khadr is clearly a child soldier who
shouldn't be prosecuted by an illegal court system at Guantanamo Bay but
reintegrated into society.

Archbishop: For the Clergy, Obedience to Church "Requires Preaching About
the Moral Evil of Contraception"
By John-Henry Westen
BARRYS BAY, May 13, 2008 ( LifeSiteNews.com) - The Archbishop of the Canadian
capital city of Ottawa addressed the convocation of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom
Academy in Barrys Bay Ontario last week, leaving attendees awestruck. The
speech focused on Pope Paul VI's encyclical Humanae Vitae. Faithful
Catholics leaving the event told LifeSiteNews.com "I've been waiting 35
years to hear that from a Canadian bishop."
Archbishop Terrence Prendergast described for the graduates and their
families the tumultuous times of the 60's when Humanae Vitae was published
(July 25, 1968). He recalled that many expected a "green light" on
contraception from the Vatican and were "thunderstruck" when the encyclical
was published.

This is amazing that Harper is still pursuing a libel charge against the
Liberals. The federal Liberals are asking for a trial by jury, which is
their right.
This has got to be the stupidest thing the Conservatives have done. With
a jury trial, there is no way that Harper can ask for a news ban which
he could do if this case was being heard by a judge only. It's going to
be a media circus with Harper on the stand under oath trying to explain
his voice on a tape talking about the offer to Cadman. His explanation,
so far, that he was offering a dying man money for an election campaign
will not convince a jury.
The Conservatives have painted themselves in to a corner. They can't
drop the lawsuit now without looking like the Liberals called their
bluff, and continuing through a jury trial will make Harper look like a
liar to Canadians.

Liberals want jury to decide merits of Harper libel lawsuit
The federal Liberals want a jury to decide if they are guilty of
libelling Prime Minister Stephen Harper over the so-called Cadman Affair
and whether his $2.5 million lawsuit against the party should be rejected.

[NewPacifica] Re: CNN Transcript: Bush Blocked Investigation of bin Laden
This goes back much further tho. Many years ago, Unical did a study
on getting oil out of Central Asia. The options were:
1. Go through Russia to the Black Sea - Once of the "Stans", I forget
which one, did that, and the Russians were diverting a lot of the oil.
2. Go through China - Technically impossible.
3. Go through Afghanistan to Karachi - Bingo. Now it was time to arm
bin Laden and the other Mujahadeen against the Soviets who were then
occupying Afghanistan, and "liberate" the people. That is when the
terrorist camps were born, and US special forces trained many of
those who would graduate from them.

Summary of Key Findings: Poppy cultivation for 2004 was estimated at 206,700
hectares, compared with 61,000 in 2003; 30,750 in 2002; 1,685 in 2001;
64,510 in 2000; and 51,500 in 1999. Potential opium production for 2004 was
estimated at 4,950 metric tons, the equivalent of approximately 582 metric
tons of potential heroin production
Notice how production of heroin/opium
has gone UP every year since ameriKKKa
liberated Afghanistan?

The leaders of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkmenistan have agreed to
construct a $2bn pipeline to bring gas from Central Asia to the
sub-continent.
The project was abandoned in 1998 when a consortium led by US energy company
Unocal withdrew from the project over fears of being seen to support
Afghanistan's then Taliban government
Unocal has repeatedly denied it is interested in returning to Afghanistan
despite having conducted the original feasibility study to build the
pipeline.

The construction of the 850-kilometre pipeline had been previously discussed
between Afghanistan's former Taliban regime, US oil company Unocal and
Bridas of Argentina.
The project was abandoned after the US launched missile attacks on
Afghanistan in 1999.

Karzai, the leader of the southern Afghan Pashtun Durrani tribe, was a
member of the mujaheddin that fought the Soviets during the 1980s. He was a
top contact for the CIA and maintained close relations with CIA Director
William Casey, Vice President George Bush, and their Pakistani Inter Service
Intelligence (ISI) Service interlocutors. Later, Karzai and a number of his
brothers moved to the United States under the auspices of the CIA. Karzai
continued to serve the agency's interests, as well as those of the Bush
Family and their oil friends in negotiating the CentGas deal, according to
Middle East and South Asian sources.
When one peers beyond all of the rhetoric of the White House and Pentagon
concerning the Taliban, a clear pattern emerges showing that construction of
the trans-Afghan pipeline was a top priority of the Bush administration from
the outset. Although UNOCAL claims it abandoned the pipeline project in
December 1998, the series of meetings held between U.S., Pakistani, and
Taliban officials after 1998, indicates the project was never off the table
And more.............
