Ruling Law

President Bush:
"Today, Saddam Hussein was executed after receiving a fair trial -- the kind of justice he denied the victims of his brutal regime."
December 30, 2006
John Burns and Marc Santora write in the New York Times:
"So this is the grand and noble achievement which the President and his …. followers are reduced to celebrating -- a lawless, … hanging, carried out in clear and deliberate violation of the law, by …… militia foot soldiers who themselves will be included among our next kill targets once our glorious "sustained surge" begins.

No matter what we touch in Iraq, no matter what we do, it only makes things worse -- never better -- because the root of what we are doing is itself so …. incoherent and corrupt. It's beyond doubt that we're going to be treated too much more "freedom" and "justice" like this over the next two years in Iraq, at least.”


So the Iraqi government has learned its lesson well. When the “rule of law” gets in the way you just “rule the law!”

(I’ve removed some of the objectionable words following the example of the DNR in that complete quotations aren’t necessary.)
