I'm talking about US forces working hand in glove with a paid informer who led them to the sons of Saddam. And wasn't that a clear cut case of "shoot to kill"? |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5was indeed a very famous victim of psychological war fare techniques we have suspected have been used on battlefields many other times.
constant unsettling Rock Music, and bright light and seriously big sub bass woofers. However the really important thing that Rooster has appeared to have forgotten/overlooked is the nature of the compound Noriega was in.
It belonged to the Holy See as the Vatican state is reffered to in diplomatic and devil's advocates circles.
Noriega was in some ways exercising two ancient rights. One is "common" the other enshrined in international law.
1. the right to sanctuary. Many cases have since the medieval period established a "common law" right to stay in a church without being removed. Quasimodo did so. Lots of people have done so, in Ireland in the last eight years there was even a case of someone avoiding or delaying arrest by taking "sanctuary".
2. the internationally enshrined right to take refuge in a consular or diplomatic mission. That site being considered the sovreign territory of the state.
The US/CIA operation to remove Noriega came very close to constituting an attack on the right to seek "asylum" in a consul or embassy. It could and indeed some day might be considered by the international comunity to have been an instance of low intensity "war" between the USA and The Vatican. The head of state of the Vatican is the Pope. He visited Ireland in 1979 and listened to rock music for less than fifteen minutes in Galway.
tried for war crimes and executed or (far worse) lingering in prison. Call me a romantic but the phrase 'they'll never take me alive' springs to mind.
Don't weep for Ooter n' Kooter, all of Iraq is celebrating.

A 14 year old boy died. That was murder. Others are dieing because trigger happy American troops appear to just shoot everyone on sight in their hunt for vice presidents Chaneys old friend Sadaam.
