According to today’s request, “news reports make clear that information about emergency contraception was included in earlier versions of the protocol and was subsequently eliminated.” In addition, a prior version of the protocol “included the recommendation that treatment providers ‘discuss treatment options with patients and provide them with immediate access to a full range of reproductive healthcare services.’” |

The innovation of the crime of aggressive war was in fact denounced by the Nazi defendants as "ex post facto law," but Justice Robert Jackson, America's prosecutor at Nuremberg, had an answer for this: Illegal wars were nothing more than mass murder, and there was nothing ex post facto about the crime of murder. Here's what Jackson said to the tribunal in his opening statement on Nov. 21, 1945:
Any resort to war - any kind of war - is a resort to means that are inherently criminal. War inevitably is a course of killings, assaults, deprivations of liberty and destruction of property. An honestly defensive war is, of course, legal and saves those lawfully conducting it from criminality. But inherently criminal acts cannot be defended by showing that those who committed them were engaged in a war, when war itself is illegal. The very minimum legal consequence of the treaties making aggressive war illegal is to strip those who incite or wage them of every defense the law ever gave, and to leave the war-makers subject to judgment by the usually accepted principles of the law of crimes. |

Nor are all critics of the law satisfied with the strength of the opposition. Prof. Ed Herman of the University of Pennsylvania, told IPS, "One striking thing is the little debate and indignation over these major encroachments on civil liberties, nothing like the indignation over (former president Bill) Clinton's escapade or even his granting of pardons at the last minute of his term -- actions that had nothing like the threatening consequences of these civil liberties attacks." |

Equating what George W. Bush is doing with what Cindy Sheehan is advocating? Is there really an option for non-reckless "conduct of the war" that would be better than ending the U.S. war effort in Iraq? |

These attacks are partly a consequence of a climate of racism promoted by Jewish institutions on our campus and in our community. "Respected" Jewish officials support the depredations of Israel's occupation of Palestine, both actively and through their silence. They have not been held accountable for egregious violations of tolerance, civility, and professional ethics at a local level. |
