Lo shock da cattura. Janet Daley dà qualche consiglio alla anti-war lobby su come prepararsi ad altre evenienze sfavorevoli sulla scia di quella di domenica scorsa. Per esempio: cosa dire se
Saddam sings like a canary, identifying the perpetrators of insurgency. Saddam is obviously being tortured by his American captors. Or else, they are lying about his testimony and justifying their own persecution of innocent Iraqis on the basis of his alleged "confession". (Note to broadcasters: these hypotheses need not be stated baldly. They can simply be hinted at or implied by leading questions and incredulous facial expressions.) If Saddam's trial is conducted by Iraq without outside interference. This is nothing more than a kangaroo court: a lynch mob bent on tribal vendetta, licensed and abetted by America, which has, typically, waged an irresponsible war and then walked away, washing its hands of the consequences. If Saddam's trial, by whatever agency, produces previously unknown evidence of crimes against his own people that is so horrific that it shames those who resisted his forcible removal. No one (certainly not you) ever said they thought Saddam was a hero, or that they wanted him restored to power. They just wanted international law to be permitted to take its own good time to decide how and when he should be stopped. Imperdibile. |
