It is interesting to me, as it was absolutely predictable, that the parrallell inquiries going on in Australia, the US and Britain, cleared their leaders of malicious intent, while passing the blame onto the intelligence services. remembering the language of absolute certainty and precipitous aggression used by all three of our national warmongers, they were certainly not questioning the validity of the intelligence at that time. This is where the International court, ratified by ALL nations, would have been appropriate. This is clearly why the US did not ratify it-along with our own little weed in Aus- since Bush knew that criminal acts were intended which would make him liable to such prosecution. Whatever else he was, Saddam Hussein was leader of a sovreign state and as such rightly deserved the same protections our three thugs would expect for themselves. Bush,Blair and Howard are knowing war-criminals and some form of prosecution must surely be merited. Jack Halyard
