Gratitude liberal style is what? spending the iraqi's people money ? IT's not nor never has been saddams money anymore that what MY president spends is HIS money.

So you're saying it's ok to disregard rulings from the courts we don't like? Also, YOUR president is spending billions like it's his $. In the end it's a shitty way to treat people who were captured and tortured by the enemy. And the repubs say they are for the fighting man? BAH!

I think your comment states that. But it was a question Mod.

You might have missed it, but Kingbee already blogged on this:

And for the record, I agree with the thought that these crimes were not perpertrated by the current leadershipof Iraq, and they should not be held accountable for the sins of Saddam.

hmmmmmm apparently that 'great minds' thing is still workin my friend.

what's being ignored here is the pows are supposed to be aided by the government in their efforts to collect according to the 1996 anti-terrorism law enacted by congress.

those nominal conservatives who so rabidly attack 'activist judges' for rewriting law are apparently untroubled when an activist executive branch engages in the exact same perversion of the system.

as to this administration's support for the military, you're right. talk about sunshine patriots...jeez.

So let me make sure i understand this. The judgement was made during saddam's reign, the crimes occurred during saddam's reign, but since he's put of power the debt is non existant?

How come we taxed Germany & other euro governments for crimes during the holocaust and still continue to do so when assets are found?

Sounds like a double standard to me.
P.S. Thanks for the backup King!

Nowhere does the article say the administration is breaking or making new law. They are just now arguing, in court as is the law, against the settlement. I think you are barking on the wrong leash.

For the STOLEN assets. NO one is making any country pay for the war crimes committed by a different regime. Get your facts straight.

please google the 1996 anti-terrorism act and youll see it requires the government to assist claimants rather than antagonize them.

A crime is a crime and a judgement is a judgement Guy. If you wanna talk about compensation for the Jews..Does the name "Israel" ring a bell? What do you call our support of them all these years? It's compensation for the holocaust. Plain and simple.

You need to get YOUR facts straight.

The point of the matter is that these folks are entitled to compensation. Just because we went in there and overthrew saddam's regieme is irrelevant.

wow a rational discussion with no name calling. yaa hoooooooooooo

In your opinion they are harrassing them. IN reality, they are arguing a point of law

So you are guilty of your father's sins? By Your logic you are. Our Support for Israel has nothing to do with any crimes we committed or did not commit againstJews in WWII. You jumped a track in logic there.

There is a crime, but the Current Iraq leadership did not do it. And yes, a judgement is a judgement unless it is over turned on appeal, also something very legal and a way of life.
