My mother sends this link to World Tribunal on Iraq.
Taking its cue from the Russell Tribunal of the late 1960s, the World Tribunal on Iraq is aimed at challenging the silence around the aggression against Iraq and seeking the truth about the war and occupation in Iraq. This will be a record of wrongs, violations and crimes as well as suffering, resistance and silenced voices. This will be a process of listening, reflection, evaluation and informed judgement based on concrete evidence. This will be a call to conscience and a call to act to preserve our futures.
The Tribunal begins the 23 of June at Istanbul. Its panel of advocates will include Dennis Halliday, former Assistant to the UN Secretary General and Director of the UN Humanitarian Aid Programme, Prof. Richard Falk, UNESCO peace prize holder and Professor of International Law, and Scott Ritter, former weapons inspector with the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) on Iraq.
There have already been meetings in Rome, Brussels, London, Mumbai, New York, Hiroshima-Tokyo, Copenhagen, Stockhol and Lisbon. The Rome meeting covered media deception on the war.
On Tuesday May 17, in Brussels, the World Tribunal on Iraq “delivered a law summon and invitation letter” addressed to Bush at the US Embassy in Brussels.
The WTI representatives invited George Bush to the final hearing of the World Tribunal on Iraq that will take place in Istanbul between 23-27 of June 2005. It is part of a global action day, as similar actions took place in Lisbon, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Istanbul, Tokyo and New York.
In Brussels a number of activists arrived at the US Embassy with a huge banner reading “President Bush, the World holds you accountableâ€. The activists also presented a letter to the US officials at the Embassy.
In front of the US Embassy today, Prof. Lieven De Cauter, initiator of the BRussells Tribunal, and spokesperson for the WTI in Belgium, said: “Since the US administration does not recognize the International Criminal Court (ICC), the citizens of the world have

If I sign, do I get to see Dick and George and Colin and Donald doing their laundry in their holding cells?
Bad Jay. That would be prisoner exploitation.
I have to admit to a couple of wild fantasies of one day having impeachment hearings to tune into. Made me jolly happy.
Sweet, Juli. Will post that one my way. Tomorrow AM.
