Francis A. Boyle, professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law, told IPS the Bush administration's ''rank hypocrisy of nuclear non-proliferation'' could not be more apparent.
The United States, he said, is already in ''material breach'' of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which says, ''each of the parties to the treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to the cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty of general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.'' |

More than one reporter pointed out that those pieces of paper your press secretary waved at them yesterday mean nothing. Even if they aren't forged documents, getting paid does not necessarily mean you showed up to do your duties. As retired Army Col. Dan Smith, a 26-year veteran, told the AP:
"Pay records don't mean anything except that you're in or you're out," said Smith. "It doesn't necessarily reflect what duty you've actually performed because pay records simply record your unit of assignment and then all of your pay and benefits per pay period." |
