When Is A War Crime Not A War Crime?

When it "appears to have all the elements of war crimes" but has been carried out by a Western 'allie' in the name of the War On Terror™ of course.

And wasn't the US brave for abstaining from the UN vote on an immediate ceasefire...

Hey Highlander,

Sorry for dropping this in your comments, but I couldn't find an e-mail address. Feel free to delete it once you've gotten the message.

I don't know if you followed it, but there used to be an aggregator called Anarchoblogs which aggregated anarchist blogs; it used to be at http://anarchoblogs.protest.net/ . All these "used tos" are because that site has disappeared from the web, and from according to the guy who used to run it, rabble, it's not coming back any time in the immediate future.

I'm writing because I'm working on restarting Anarchoblogs, at the domain anarchoblogs.org. There's a version of the site that's live and running right now; now I'm in the process of contacting former contributors and possible new contributors to fill out the list. My hope is to make the new Anarchoblogs as much as possible like the old Anarchoblogs, except with a few new features added -- in particular, having not only a main page that aggregates everything, but also some more specific aggregators for particular communities (geographical, ideological, linguistic, organizational, or whatever -- nyc.anarchoblogs.org, england.anarchoblogs.org, spa.anarchoblogs.org, communist.anarchoblogs.org, and the like).

I'd like to invite you to join the new project. Would you be interested in having Cactus Mouth Informer syndicated on the site? Let me know.

Cheers,
Charles Johnson

@ Charles - it would be a pleasure and a privilege. Please feel free to syndicate Cactus Mouth Informer and I'm hoping your comment was prompted by my submission to anarchoblogs.org - I already have it linked up. Thanks for stopping by.
