Gaddafi death may be war crime, says International Criminal Court

[mbperrin]

23. That is of course the citizen I was referring to.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Now just which part of the 6th Amendment to the Constitution is not understood here?


Far as I can tell from your post, when a cop sees you, who has not been indicted for any crime nor served any warrant, when he sees you get in your car and leave wherever you are, he may safely kill you.


Oh, and let's look at real budget figures: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy12/hist.html

For 2010:
National defense: $693+ billion
Veterans' benefits and service: $108+ billion
Total all defense-related: $801 billion+

Social Security on budget: $23+ billion
Medicare: $451 billion
Total: $474 billion.

Looks like somebody owes me about $327 billion to increase Social Security and Medicare to the cost of running the military.
So will you contact your congressperson to immediately increase SS and Medicare to the level of military spending? Or would you rather cut military spending by $327 billion a year? I can go either way.

Thanks for the offer!
