#5 Nice that they can mention that this was an opposition party that filed the suit, but when it's an American politician, they can't.
As far as suckscock goes, I think we should get some Iraqis to file against him for delaying their liberation, which led to many deaths, and mucho mucho suffering.

#13 One word: Congo. Any individual who was present in the country, worked in the colonnial administration or fought for the government should be subject to prosecution. (Remember there is no statute of limitations for "Crimes Against Humanity") This should snare enough of those sanctimonious bastards in a legal dragnet that the government will be forced to abandon the law.

#14 Was that prosecute the violators or violate the prosecutors? I simply can't remember.

#15 James Taranto - Best of the Web:

Perhaps now Belgium will join the U.S. in seeking to move the headquarters of NATO out of Brussels, lest Belgian officials be harassed by Belgian courts while in Belgium on NATO business
