Real Terrorist Trial

There will be an International trial of US, British, and Israeli leaders, George Bush, Tony Blair, and Ariel Sharon, for war crimes committed against civilians in Iraq and the Palestinian territories. The two-day event is set to open on Friday, February 3rd in the Egyptian capital.

It will include international lawyers and human rights activists including Ahmed Ben Bella, the former Algerian president, and ex-Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohamad. Nelson Mandela, the former South African president accepted an invitation to be the chief judge. The prosecution will be headed by Ramsey Clark, the former US attorney-general. Witnesses include Hans Blix, the former UN chief weapons inspector who monitored Iraq's weapons program under Saddam Hussein.

There will be extensive media coverage, but don't look for that on CNN or any other Euro-American network. Follow it instead with the rest of the world on al Jazeera. A full story of the plans is carried there at this link.
