#3 It is quite obvious that I flaunted the order but what was not clear to me is whether as a resident of the republic of Croatia I was bound to obey the order, Jovic said Tuesday.

Damn straight. UN is not world goverment, yet.

#4 Im in a quandary here. The journalist who insist that Americans be beholding to international law are themselves doing what they denounce the US for. On the other hand, it seems consistent with the view that journalist by definition are elitist - one set of rules for us and a separate set of rules for everyone else. Then again hes tell the ICT [which, note very well Hamdan SCOTUS, is not a court approved by Congress in legislation or treaty] to go stuff it. Not being a leftist, I cant hold two opposing thoughts in my head at the same time without it hurting. Excuse me while I get some aspirin.

#6 I have contempt not just for the "court" but for the UN and the EC.

Wonder what they'd do to me?

Wonder if they know what my friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson would be glad to do to them if they tried?
