Paleos must build a fence - Hague Security Office
This isnât in the papers or wire service.
A Rantburg exclusive! Hurrah!
I live in an area where some Congressmen live (DC area). One of them (an anti Bush democrat who is coordinating with the Bush admin for this purpose) is flying to the Hague to give a speech about Israelâs need to defend itself. When the Paleos found out about it they immediately petitioned the Hague to allow them to hold a âwe should be allowed to kill Israelisâ protest next to the Congressmanâs speech (it isnât in the court itself since the US maintains the Intl Court doesnât have jurisdiction). The Hague security office told the Paleos that the only way they could get a protest permit in this case was to build a temporary fence separating them from the Congressman because otherwise the security office could not maintain security.
Aside from a nice bit of irony, this also illustrates the fact that the EU police and anti terrorism units have a much more realistic view of the threat than do the policitians.
