Unbelievable
Nobody’s Business reports that the International Criminal Court is actually PAYING accused war criminals to turn themselves in. On top of that, the accused’s family gets a “double salary,” a per-child bonus, plus four paid-for trips to the Hague per year to visit the accused war criminal.
Wow.
But wait, it gets better — the really senior war criminals get a MILLION DOLLAR bonus for turning themselves in, on top of all the other payments.
It’s the world turned upside down.
And both Nobody’s Business and Bill Quick of Daily Pundit wonder what else the indicted were able to negotiate before they turned themselves in? Maybe reduced charges? Reduced sentences? I mean, the whole thing just reeks.
Bill Quick puts it well:
What can I say? There are no words. This transcends farce into some new, even more absurd plane of surrealism. It goes without saying, of course, that there was an under-the-table negotiation about the verdict and sentence, and that the whole thing is an abomination that exposes the foulness at the center of the philosophy that could even consider making deals with mass-murdering fiends in exchange for the appearance of credibility for this pathetic perversion of justice. I am so glad that Bush refused to sign onto this “court”.
***JASON ADDS: WTF!? It is clear that our international institutions are ill and need radical therapy or complete disbanding and reconstruction. I am stunned.
