"No. I think U.S. intelligence has been -- if you look at one
investigation after another, they have done as good a job as they
could under the circumstances"--Henry Kissinger on 9-11
intelligence failures
"Mad justice"--Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi as he
heard that former PM Giulio Andreotti had been guilty of ordering a
Mafia hit on an investigative journalist in 1979
We have been covering the cream of the crop of our plutocracy.
President George Bush has made a mockery of the international law
when he withdrew the United States signature from the International
Criminal Court (ICC) Treaty.
Terrorism is embedded into our plutocracy and yesterday George
Bush appointed Henry Kissinger, a man accused of crimes against
humanity, to head the investigation surrounding the terrorist
9-11attacks.
Yesterday, I also learned that Italian Prime Minister Silvio
Berlusconi, a man who has been trying to make his own Italian laws
to escape justice, has appeared before judges in the trial of a
close friend of his friends accused of Mafia money laundering and
has refused to answer any questions.
So this is in a nutshell the moral integrity of the cream of the
crop: they kill and they investigate the terrorism of their own
making, and they steal and launder their dirty deeds as they make
their own laws and are silent before the Rule of Law.
