| Terrorism fight must respect rule of law: Annan |
| 2004-09-10 |
| MEXICO CITY: The fight against terrorism must respect the rule of law, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said on Wednesday, referring to Russia's earlier pledge to attack terrorists anywhere in the world. "Yes we need to come with ways and means to fight terrorism effectively but we also need to make sure that these approaches do not undermine the rule of law and basic civil rights," Annan said at a news conference during a visit to Mexico. "I believe in fighting terrorism but countries have to work together." |

| #9 I wonder if Kofi would keep spouting this pathetic bullshit had one of those laden jetliners smashed into the UN building back on 9-11. With the unchallenged and ongoing genocide in Darfur, Annan has proven himself to be nothing more than ornamental. |

| #8 So why doesn't he hold the palis to the same standard? Or is it only for the war on terror, with no expectation that the terrorists could, would or should adhere to anything resembling such a standard? What would happen if the combatants in the war on terror simply did as the terrorists? It won't happen...but it'd be interesting, wouldn't it! ;o) |

| #7 I think the only way this imbecile gets a clue is when Binny's boys pull a semi up in front of that whorehouse on Turtle Bay and set it off. |

| #6 mojo is correct - we adhere to the rules of war as our own choice. The Geneva conventions are very clear that if one side fails to observe the rules, the other side is not bound by them. And if it were up to me the gloves would have come off a long time ago... |

| #5 I get it, Kofi...the a**hats in Sudan get a free ride for killing, raping and pillaging 10s of thousands and you are worried about a handful of cockroaches who nothing more than hum excrement? |

| #3 Words fail me.... Kofi is worried the fight against his ME supporters could "undermine the rule of law and violate civil rights"... Tell it to the parents of the children in Beslan, Kofi. |
