Paleos must build a fence - Hague Security Office
This isn’t 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 Israel’s need to defend itself. When the Paleos found out about it they immediately petitioned the Hague to allow them to hold a ’we should be allowed to kill Israelis’ protest next to the Congressman’s speech (it isn’t in the court itself since the US maintains the Intl Court doesn’t 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.
