A rather neat compendium of imperial "justice", administered across all points of the compass. All in a days' work. From the international section of the NYT:

INTERNATIONAL ========================= Court in Chile Rules Against Trial for Pinochet A Chilean appeals court ruled that Gen. Augusto Pinochet is not well enough to stand trial on charges that he covered up the killings of political opponents. http://partners.nytimes.com/2001/07/10/world/10CHIL.html?todaysheadlines ----- Israelis Destroy Homes of Palestinians in Two Areas Israeli wrecking crews destroyed 14 homes in East Jerusalem on Monday and 10 houses in a refugee camp in Palestinian ruled Gaza Strip on Tuesday. http://partners.nytimes.com/2001/07/10/world/10MIDE.html?todaysheadlines ----- Japan's Refusal to Revise Textbooks Angers Neighbors The Japanese government announced that it would order no revisions of school books that critics say whitewash the country's record of imperial-era atrocities in Asia. http://partners.nytimes.com/2001/07/10/world/10JAPA.html?todaysheadlines

Of course, these are the same schmucks who pretend to sit in judgement at The Hague.
