John Howard may well be in deep do do,since this involves international criminal justice.
“The International Criminal Court now has jurisdiction over war crimes and crimes against humanity … It attributes criminal responsibility to individuals responsible for planning military action that violates international humanitarian law and those who carried it out. It specifically extends criminal liability to heads of state, leaders of governments, parliamentarians, government officials and military personnel.”

The Australian Government, led by Mr. Howard, defied legal opinion. Parliament was adjourned on 8 March 2003. In the late hours of 17 March 2003, Mr. Howard and his Cabinet voted to authorise Australian air, land and naval personnel to attack Iraq. US Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage made an official request for the involvement of Australian troops late on the night of March 20. It later became known that Australian special operations troops, with Cabinet authorisation, had entered Iraq as much as 30 hours before the outbreak of war.

No he's not, Arjay.

>>Well John Howard our ex PM is facing real criminal charges.<<

More febrile childishness.

A bunch of conspiracy nuts have put together a rambling concoction of emotive tosh, which they have sent to the AFP, the DPP, and the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

The AFP and the DPP were polite enough to respond, thereby wasting some taxpayer dollars. But the International Criminal Court have so far taken sixteen months to - equally politely - ignore them completely. Let's face it, they probably get as many of these as I get Nigerian spam emails, and find them just as convincing.

I expect your mates in SEARCH are now busily "proving" that the ICC is actually run by the international bankster/military/industrial complex.

How come I never hear you protesting about Hezbollah, Hamas, The Taliban, Al-Quieda, Boko Harum etc, & calling for any of these people to be held to account for their crimes. Could I see you marching & rioting in the streets calling for justice against them.

Why is that you only protest against the West? Strange that.

Dear Arjay,

During the US Civil War that great traitor, Robert E. Lee, led an army against his country and fought for the despicable crime of human slavery. That great traitor and most of the other traitors who followed him were not prosecuted for their treason. They were allowed to go home and live in peace. Justice was not done. If justice had been done the country would have continued to be torn apart, and there would have continued to be great human suffering. Weighing the human suffering resulting from attempts to mete justice against justice for the criminals I think Lincoln did the right thing.

I think Bush and Cheney were great criminals, but Obama in attempting to bring them to justice would have torn the US apart which would have created more suffering and injustice. I wish they could have been brought before the bar of justice in a dispassionate atmosphere, but the reality is that it is not possible.

David f .Obama does not look like the good guy. Our bankster puppet masters did not put him in power to give power back to the people. Obama further trashed the US Constitution with the NDAA and legalising assassination like we did recently.

Ray McGovern (ex CIA senior analyst)says that he knows Obama fears assassination because of a friend who attended a private dinner with him. Obama was asked why he had not pursued the ideals of his pre-election speeches. Obama's reply was," Don't you remember what they did to Martin Luther King Jr ?"
