File under: Govt of Iran

#1 I offer the US government some copper covered lead circular objects for dealing with this poopy butt. Of course they will be free too.

#2 I offer to beat him severely with blunt objects on behalf of the vitcims he is creating.

Just another reason to completely withdraw from and refuse recognition of the International Court.

#3 So America is supposed to take Iran's threats as lawful exercises of sovereignty. Disbar the Illinois punk.

What about Iran's trade sanctions against Israel?

#5 We're not signatory to the Rome treaty, the only way to pin us down to it is if the UNSC defers a case on us to the court.

#8 Is this guy a poster boy for a$$ clown of the moment or what????

No. He has much higher ambitions. Seems to me that I'd heard something else about this guy in the last year or so, something that wasn't listed at the link. Can't think what, though.

#9 And Google sez...

Between 1988 and 1992 Boyle was a member of the board of Amnesty International USA. Boyle also charged that Amnesty's staff had been infiltrated by US and UK security services (see Covert Action interview below) a claim hotly disputed by many in the human-rights community.

From 1991 to 1993, Boyle was a legal advisor to the Palestine Liberation Organization. Boyle is currently a member of the Nobel Peace Prize for Governor George H. Ryan Committee.

Corrupt former governor of Illinois who shitcanned the death penalty so as not to piss off a potential cellmate.

Professor Boyle is a controversial figure at the University of Illinois. He advocated for warmer US relations with Libya in the 1990s, and speaks fondly of his interactions with Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi. Professor Boyle has also made comments about the Middle East, accusing Israel of committing "Nuremberg offenses" against the Palestinians, an allusion to the actions of Nazi Germany.

Boyle has also taken a strong stand in favor of Hawaiian independence, and in support of this effort uses a resolution signed by former U.S. President Bill Clinton apologizing for U.S. involvement in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy.

Locally, Boyle is outspoken against a University of Illinois "pub crawl" which celebrates Saint Patrick's Day days prior to March 17th. This "celebration" consists of excess drinking as well as increased vandalism on campus, which Boyle argues is offensive to persons of Irish nationality.

I'll bet that pissed off the boyos...

In 2002, Boyle protested a speech by Ruth Wedgwood, a law professor performing consulting work for the Bush administration, by equating her advocacy of military tribunals in the War on Terror to kangaroo courts. He appeared with an individual dressed in an anthropomorphic kangaroo costume to underline this point. More recently Boyle has been on the vanguard of movement to impeach U.S. President George W. Bush. He had previously called for the impeachment of former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Well, nobody's all bad I guess. Sounds like he likes the sound of his own voice.

#10 In other words, he's a typical chomskyite leftist asshole who hates the country he lives in and tries to bugger it at every chance he gets.

#11 The a$$hole is looking for his 15 minutes of fame. Throw him overboard about 12 miles out to sea with his law books tied to him.
