U.S. Suspends Aid to 35 Countries Over New International Court
The Bush administration suspended all American military assistance to 35 countries today because they refused to pledge to give American citizens immunity before the International Criminal Court.
This comes despite the fact that we’ve set up secret terrorist courts that answer to basically no one, can try anyone in the world, and isn’t required to even disclose the proceedings. Thousands of US citizens and people here on visas are being held without charge, without trial, and without representation.
These are indeed dark days. Our grand children and great-grandchildren will look upon this time and shake their heads and wonder what we were thinking. Much the same as we do now about many periods in history.
