McDoughall steps on his tongue.
A step backwards for a one time Minister For Justice. Does he have a concience after all.? Yesterday, former Minister for Justice Michael McDoughall addressed the International Bar Council forum held in Dublin, he said that he disagreed with the term 'War On Terror'. That he had 'problems with it'. It was to loose for his liking.
This is a man who probably repeated the 'War On Terror' mantra more than most in Dail Eireann, and let us not forget his and his sidekick Mary Harneys endless stream of diatribe about how Anti-American we all are in Ireland who disagree with Bush's plans. He now finds the twrm 'War On Terror' it a little tasteless, because it lacks 'legal definition'. What a cop out.
Would it seem that those against this massacre of civilians might not have been Anti-Amreican after all?. Did these people know more than the self proclaimed Great One.
You would think that this man, with his self professed 'Brilliant Mind' would have figured this out sooner-no.. but why?, The damage is already done and is he looking to be excused for facilitating the genocide of Iraqi civilians which claimed 1,200,000, because after all, the terminology really is a bit loose -to be fair to him.
Mabey he can sit on the fence now with Kevin Meyers who is also self described as 'intellegent' because he also, was wrong to some degree about this military misadventure of his likeminded buddy GW Bush, and never misses an oppertunity to tell us how gracious he is in even admitting this- we should show respect I suppose.
So the fence sitters pew is filling up now with detractors of varying degrees.
Ive always wondered if this would come about, simply because, I for one cannot understand how anyone can function knowing that they were part of a modern day genocide, which we 'civilised' folk in the west are supposed to abhore.
I wonder how Ali Abbas, would feel now, now 15, whos arms were burned off him, ,knowing his expectant mother ,father and six siblings were killed in the 'Shock And Awe' campaign and that our Minister For 'Justice' feels that the terminology was a 'bit loose' in legal terms to do what they done?. Relieved I'm sure
