| Tribunal Charges George W. Bush |
| 2003-07-29 |
| More comedy than anything. I couldn’t find any reference to this in KCNA or ITAR-TASS. NEWSRu.com reports that US President George W. Bush was charged with violation of 11 laws and agreements at a session of the so-called international tribunal for US crimes committed in Korea. The session was held in Pyongyang. The Central Telegraph Agency of Korea reported on July 25 that other top officials from the US Administration were on the tribunal’s symbolic dock together with Bush. Apparently, the NorKs are trying to set up the Hermit Kingdom version of the Russell Tribunal. President George W. Bush is particularly blamed for violation of the US [sic] Charter and the Korean War Cease-fire agreement. The information reported by the news agency doesn’t specify what sentence can be pronounced on the US president in connection with the charges, Russia-s news agency ITAR-TASS informs. Maybe Kimmie will send Bush to a Corrective Labor Camp for re-education! The tribunal was created in Pyongyang in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Korean War cease-fire; it was set up by several international organizations sympathizing with North Korea and the Korean Committee for Solidarity with World Peoples operating in Pyongyang. The tribunal consists of 25 lawyers; Beth Lyons from the International Federation of Democratic Attorneys is the senior prosecutor of the tribunal. Beth Lyons is apparently so far left that she thinks Pacifica Radio is too reactionary. |

| #8 Hey, don't give Beth too hard a time. She has not been run over by a bulldozer, she has not been a human shield, and she has not posed sitting on an AA battery (not referring to electrical energy source). Useful idiots are getting smarter. Not a quantum step, mind you, just a 0.1 or so, heh heh. |

| #7 The ones with the pine-bark crunchies on top? Oh yessssss! Gotta be careful, though, the bones are very small and delicate. |

| #6 Maybe Beth can do Pyongyang restaurant reviews for BAI while she's over there? "The baby fingers sauteed in White Slag were scrumptious!" |

| #5 Insane Leader is grasping at straws. Sounds like the little shit's just about screamed himself hoarse. This is the longest running tantrum I've ever seen - my daughter would give up in 10 or 15 minutes, at most. Credit where due. Anybody think to notify Guinness? |

| #4 How about Sean Penn? David Bonior? Most of the 'peace activists' who went there prior top the US invasion? They have all committed overt acts against the United States in time of war. |

| #3 The Belgians will outraged that they didn't get to convict him first. In the Hague, one can hear the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth. I thought that the Norks were so atrocious that even the campus lefties would stay away from them - at least until there was a clear U.S. military build up. But apparently, even the Kims can find apologists in the West. |

| #2 Let her back in for the treason trial, at least. "Providing aid and comfort to the avowed enemies of the United States." Overt acts, anyone? |

| #1 Do we have to let her back in the country? Let her eat kimchee for a while. |
