1---Do NOT jump to conclusion we know who Jihadi
John is. So far, only the media has reported his identity, not any
government agency. The media may be right, but….Even such a notorious
person as “JJ” deserves the benefit of the doubt
until we are 100% sure who he is.
2. If ever there was a case for a change of venue,
the Boston bomber case is it. How in the world can this guy get a fair
trial in that city? I know, 5 different courts have said he can. I
don’t believe it..and IF I am right and
he is convicted, this would be a grounds for overturning his conviction
on appeal…and that is just not worth taking such a risk. Better to hold
the trial elsewhere and avoid such a problem.
3. Sometime we learn. After years of letting Nazi
criminals live here undetected (or because our government didn’t want to
know, which was worse)—several of whom lived into their 90s before we
brought them to justice, the US has recently
moved to deport 300 Bosnians, maybe involved in the same genocide as
the Nazis, only as recently as the 1990s. Maybe we have learned.
4. Maybe. Remember Attica? Perhaps the bloodiest
prison riot in US history, forever staining the otherwise admirable
administration of NY Governor Nelson Rockefeller. 40 years ago, and
yet..3 prison guards at Attica have been charged with
the brutal beating of a prisoner and are awaiting trial.
5. Remember those Somali pirates? They just
released 4 poor fishermen from Thailand, held longer than any of their
other captives. A UN agency negotiated their release. If you are out of
the news, except to your family, who works for your
wellbeing? Apparently only the UN.
6. And while we are remembering, how about
Tupperware? Once a staple of American life, its biggest market is now
Indonesia. Just thought you’d like to know.
