What a decade it has been for assassinations, liquidations, exterminations – for state terrorism led by the Land of the Free. Summary executions include Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. On 5 February 2003, General Colin Powell stated that he headed a deadly terrorist network within Iraq – just six weeks before the US headed a deadly terrorist network, in an illegal invasion, which entirely destroyed Iraq.
On 7 June 2006, at Hibhib, near Baquba, al-Zarqawi was killed by two five-hundred-pound bombs, dropped by US Air Force F-16 jets, killing five others including his wife and child. Legality, trying in law those accused of wrong doing, is, seemingly, so yesterday.
President Saddam Hussein and some of his sovereign government were subject to a kangaroo court, laughable had it not shamed and disgraced the word ‘legal’ at every level. Then he was lynched.
Osama bin Laden’s alleged death, with still unaccounted for others, was another blot on legality and humanity, with his body seemingly summarily disposed of as shark food. Why observe religious and legal niceties when they may, in turn, preserve forensic, legal evidence?
Hilary Clinton and her partners in crime, were, of course, shown ‘watching’ this gruesome slaying, by illegal immigrants who had entered ally Pakistan, without bothering to request permission for air space or passage. It then had to be admitted there was in fact no transmission from a video, previously said to be screened from one of the assassin’s helmets. Hollywood meets Capitol Hill?
