Den Beste has yet another excellent (and long) essay on the current tranzi yammering for a non-Iraqi trial for SH.
He explains the general tone of the anti-US camp — hysterical incoherent anger — as cognitive dissonance at having to defend the world’s worst people and regimes (the Taliban and SH) versus the US, which is far better by any conceivable standard than those — and many others.
Just the other day a European friend expressed to me the concern that SH would not get a fair trial. As Stephen Green (I think) said yesterday, SH’s guilt is not in question. The really only fair trial would be one that revealed the true extent of his crimes.
But no, to the Raving Looney Moonbats (TM), the only fair trial would be one where SH was acquitted — or rather, any situation that embarrassed the US, no matter its moral cost.
