#1 "If it really is him, we will give him a proper burial," he said.

And if it's not? What then, just dump the bones in the trash, maybe? Nice. Very compassionate.

The "arab problem" in a nutshell.

#2 After reading the article above about the Belgian war crime accusations against Tommy Franks and then reading this--only the Nth mass grave found in Iraq so far--I have to wonder how g--d--n ignorant Jan Fermon and Co. are. They should be kidnapped and forced to tour those mass graves, help unearth the bodies, and prepare them for return to their relatives and/or proper burial. Then they get a tour of all the prisons in Iraq from the poor, tortured souls that managed to survive their imprisionment. And then they can go back and file their worthless and pathetic attempt of a charge.

#3 This just further underscores the total impotence and moral degeneracy of old europe. They ignore genocide while attempting to prosecute those that would end it.

Have they lost their minds?

#4 Just a comment - If it isn't "him" it would possibly be irresponsible to bury the remains privately, as very likely they belong to someone who is being sought by his own relatives. They would best be deposited with the proper authorities.

There is of course no telling who the proper autjhorities would be in Iraq at the moment.
