On the night of July 17, 1978 dozens of Northern California police officers engaged in a gun battle with five Native American who had a single .22 rifle. More than a hundred shots were fired. Three were wounded. One police officer was killed. After spending eight years on death row for first degree murder, Patrick "Hooty" Croy, of Shasta Karok decent, was granted a retrial and eventually acquitted. His new defense team, headed by J. Tony Serra, argued Croy acted in self defense and gave supporting evidence of the genocide against California Native Americans that has continued since the 1850's. This strategy, known as the cultural defense was used to explain why Croy feared for his life when he returned fire.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Many if not most of Kissinger's partners in politics, from Greece to Chile to Argentina to Indonesia, are now in jail or awaiting trial. His own lonely impunity is rank; it smells to heaven. If it is allowed to persist then we shall shamefully vindicate the ancient philosopher Anacharsis, who maintained that laws were like cobwebs--strong enough to detain only the weak and too weak to hold the strong. In the name of innumerable victims known and unknown, it is time for justice to take a hand." - - Christopher Hitchens
RHINO HERE:
Once again I urge you to call your Senators and Congress people today and express your outrage (you are outraged, aren't you) about shrub selecting Kissinger to oversee the investigation into 9/11. Does shrub and company think the American public doesn't pay attention to politics, instead only concerning themselves with sex, drugs, sports, and the price of gas? Okay well maybe most do, but come on! I'm gonna burn some staffers' ears today.
The International Campaign Against Impunity (ICAI) is committed to assisting the prosecution of high ranking public officials and companies accused of crimes against humanity, war crimes, genocide and torture. They have been effective in distributing information, otherwise secret, concerning the crimes of such infamous celebs as Augusto Pinochet, Slobodan Milosevivc, Ariel Sharon and others.
http://www.icai-online.org/
They've created a new effort entitled "Kissinger Watch" including a web site with relevant web links and an email bulletin published several times a year, all to document the crimes of Dr. K.
http://www.icai-online.org/54175,KW.html
Here's a brief quote form their site:
"To many, Henry Kissinger epitomizes the failure of the Western world to pay serious attention to the grave crimes committed by its leadership. In response, KissingerWatch is designed to examine this specific case of impunity, to provide information about Kissinger's alleged role in the violation of human rights worldwide, to kindle debate, and to facilitate the exchange of opinions among experts and activists."
Say you're not convinced Dr. K is such a bad guy, even after exploring the list of web sites gathered at the ICAI page cited above? No problem, there's so much documented proof of his murderous ways that no one need wonder. Check out the "Henry Kissinger, Unindicted Terrorist" File. (Also known as the "Kissinger Mass Murderer" File and the "Kissinger War Criminal" File).

By Maureen Dowd, NY Times, 12/01/02
WASHINGTON — It's an inspired choice. Bold, counterintuitive, edgy, outside the box. Who better to investigate an unwarranted attack on America than the man who used to instigate America's unwarranted attacks?
Who better to ferret out government duplicity and manipulation than the man who engineered secret wars, secret bombings, secret wiretaps and secret coups, and still ended up as a Pillar of the Establishment and Nobel Peace Prize winner?
It was Dick Cheney's brainstorm, naturally. Only someone as pathologically opaque as the vice president could appreciate the sublime translucency of Henry Kissinger. And only someone intent on recreating the glory days of the Ford and Nixon White Houses could have hungered to add the 79-year-old Dr. Strange[~][~] I mean, Dr. Kissinger to the Bush team...
