...the Indians begin to view the US more rationally and less emotionally. V.Iyer My understanding is that the Indian Govt. is objecting to the strip-search. They interpret this as a violation of diplomatic immunity on the basis of reciprocity and arising out of some supposed 'strategic partnership' the two countries enjoy. In other words, the Indians are saying the State Dept should have issued a statement of interest and certified immunity from criminal, not civil, charges if those criminal charges would result in a 'strip search' which, for cultural reasons,...

Dean C. Rowan Before checking my credit history, I ran another search in JLR: "web log" weblog. Results: 531 documents. But of course most of these, I imagined, also used "blog" as the shortened form. Surprisingly, the search ("web log" weblog) % blog generated 206 documents! At a glance, the majority of these results included weblog in a URL, not exactly an explicit reference to blogs, but probably an indirect use of one. The same search in ALLNEWS (i.e., either term but not blog): 5,725 documents. In ALLCASES: precisely 10....

...only refers to “piracy as defined by the law of nations.” Judge Jackson determines that the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1820 decision in U.S. v. Smith, upholding the validity of the 1819 statute while declaring that piracy is “robbery or forcible depredations . . . upon the sea” provides the applicable definition. While the court discusses subsequent cases and scholarship, it is dicta under the decision’s logic, and most sources simply refer back to Smith anyway. I see two flaws in the court’s logic. First, as Eugene Kontorovich has already noted,...

Excellent news for historians researching the Holocaust: the 11-nation governing body of the International Tracing Service, which oversees a massive archive of Nazi documents in Bad Arolsen, Germany, has voted to begin distributing the documents electronically to member states: The archive contains Nazi records on the arrest, transportation, incarceration, forced labor and deaths of millions of people from the year the Nazis built their first concentration camp in 1933 to the end of the war in May 1945. It also has a vast collection of postwar records from displaced persons...

people. We don't want oppression. We want to regain the freedom of our Muslim nation. As you spoil our security, we will spoil your security." And he offered peace as well: "We do not mind establishing a long-term truce between us and you." "In response to the substance of the polls in the US, which indicate that Americans do not want to fight Muslims on Muslim land, nor do they want Muslims to fight them on their land, we do not mind offering a long-term truce based on just conditions...

...think Roger is correct in believing that President Obama will now have to approach the rest of this term (and potentially a subsequent term) from a different perspective. President Obama acknowledged this when he said the award was "a call to action" in his speech. Putting aside the reasons for the honor, it is exciting to see an America being welcomed back to the international table. Laura Little We can't ignore the President's own reaction to receipt of the award, as a "call to action", implicitly he affirmed with his...

...well-founded prediction, since these methods fail to respect principles 1. through 4. By requiring initial and local viability of institutional reform, the incremental method neglects the fact that institutions which are viable in the large and in the long term may not be so in the small and in the short term. This is, in fact, the main objection that Tocqueville makes to Burke's evaluation of the French Revolution.' [emphasis added] I think these methodological principles have some application in the assessment of the ad hoc tribunals and the ICC...

...based on the text or history of the AUMF, however. It is informed by the history of the CIA and its use in activities related to armed conflict. You are fundamentally arguing that a general requirement to comply with a relatively context neutral criminal statute (let's keep in mind that it does not specifically apply to covert action or the CIA by its terms) cannot be the subject of an implied exception. I am arguing that the law can be reasonably interpreted to grant a context specific implied exception when...

was recently incorporated by reference in the Rome Statute. It deliberately employed a broad definition of the term State that applies without regard to recognition or UN membership. In the Draft Statute on the International Criminal Court the ILC said: An individual cannot incur responsibility for this crime in the absence of aggression committed by a State. Thus, a court cannot determine the question of individual criminal responsibility for this crime without considering as a preliminary matter the question of aggression by a State." So determinations regarding statehood will undoubtedly...

...We have to also realize, that on the long-term we won’t be able to afford more bailouts and there has to be alternative solutions, since we are passing the trillion Dollar deficit boundary. Printing more money can be utilized as short-term tool, but on the long run it will devastate economy. Something needs to be done immediately, but more regulation & spending does not seem to be a logical answer, we need another alternative solution. Maybe we should take pure libertarian approach and let the free market decide who wins...
