BUT HE DOESN’T SEEM INTERESTED IN GOING AFTER “CHEMICAL ALI:”

The Belgian lawyer who angered Washington by launching a war crimes case against the former US military commander in Iraq, Tommy Franks, said he was appealing against the government’s decision not to pursue his suit in Belgium.

I think he must be a mole for the Bush Administration, working to discredit the idea of an International Criminal Court. Double his pay — he’s doing great work! (What, you’ve got a better explanation?) [He could just be a pretentious twit with delusions of grandeur! — Ed. Hmm. A Belgian human rights lawyer? That’s so crazy it just might be true! Kind of like “Lapdance Island?” — Ed. I’m pretty sure that’s not in Belgium.]
