The BBC shocks with Blair faces war crimes suit:
The Athens Bar Association says it will file a suit against Britain at the International Criminal Court - the recently created tribunal for cases of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.They forgot the Ban on Eating Haggis Convention, the International Requirement to Wear Undergarments Under Kilts, and the Supranational Ban on Bagpipes. Wait a minute, that's the Jocks! Well, you know what I mean.
The lawyers call the attacks by the United States and British forces against Iraq "crimes against humanity and war crimes".
They have listed a number of international treaties they say the two countries have violated.
These include the United Nations Charter, the Geneva Conventions, the Hague Convention and the International Criminal Court's statute.
Dimitris Paxinos, the head of the lawyers' association, told the BBC the lawsuit will be filed within a fortnight.After time out for some leisurely lunches, eh Dim?
He said American officials could not be prosecuted as the US is not a signatory to the ICC's founding treaty.Bwahaha!
Where are all the wingnuts that were telling us the ICC would not attract frivolous lawsuits?
