I can’t believe that the two main headlines on the radio this morning were two new legal turnarounds. The first was to exempt the American armed forces from any war-crimes action whilst involved in a peace keeping mission. Does this include action taken in Afghanistan and such like? Why should they be exempt and no other country. What have they got to hide? Surely the whole point of having war crimes investigations is to investigate what has gone wrong?
The other matter is that some judicial courts in the uk will loose the right to trial by Jury. There are enough miscarriages of justice and incomptencies in the uk courts and now they want to do this, so now just one person decides if another person is guilty or not?
AND they’ve decided to decriminalize cannabis too…..just what is happening to justice? Thats three really weird and mixed up rulings in two days!
