Civilian universities in the context of the ROTP program

I think it's the perps' lawyer that is trying to get it in front of British Courts and get them to stop the Army from handing them over to Iraq. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV.  That being said, I think that the reason why the perps were not initially tried by the Brits...

You are right they are a frot for the Tigers but that does not make raising money for them any less illegal.  And for the previous poster, no university that I know of in Canada allows you to opt out of the student union fees.

I have some first hand experience with university politics at Ryerson, and I can completely see this happening there too.  The same type of individuals seem to run most university student government and the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS).  The CFS is somewhere to the left of Lenin and...

I played with it and figured out that now the edit indicator is the modify icon on the bottom... before it used to say something like "last edited" and a time

If I edited, it would say I did on the bottom of the post.  I did not... Will respond to the rest when I have more time. Like I edited this post to demonstrate.

Why, oh why does this not suprise me??? Former Ottawa gas station operator rules home state of Somali pirates http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/cbc/081126/canada/canada_somali_piracy

According to my understanding it does not.  When most people think of the Hague Tribunal they think of the ICTY( International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia).  The ICTY was specifically authorised by the Security Council to deal with the wars in former Yugoslavia.  The Security Council has...

Iraq is not party to the treaty that established the International Criminal Court, just like the US for example, and not Iraq tribunal was established by the UN Security Council.  Thus they have no jurisdiction. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_criminal_court "Territorial...

Please explain to me who would have jurisdiction in this case, if not Iraq?  Brits maybe since the crimes were committed against their people, but they were done by Iraqis on Iraqi soil>  i am not aware of any international court that has juristion.

Iraqi soil, Iraqi nationals, Iraqi courts, Iraqi rope, seems very simple to me. 

I did IAP with 30+ UTPNCMs who had between 6 and 14 years in, quite a few acting-lacking MCpls among the crew.  If they did not get IAP bypass I  do not see a QL3 getting it.  As far as I know Sly is right, PLARs are awarded after enrolment by Borden

Cue "Another One Bites the Dust"

There is a big difference, privateers operated against enemy shipping in times of war.  I consider them a sort of naval version of a militia.  They may have had chequered pasts, or turned to piracy afterwards but while they operated under Letters of Marque they fullfilled a legitimate...

What do his neighbours say?  Was he " A nice quiet guy"

I was debating, whether or not to get back to this topic after it was highjacked by the resident troll....   I do not consider PMCs trigger happy cowboys, most are highly trained professionals doing a valuable service in the roles that they are employed in.   My opinion is still is that...

I am not sympathetic to the SOB either.  But the contractor is an SOB too in the sense that we have the moral high ground and such actions act to erode it.  Just because the other guy does not follow the Laws of War does not mean we stoop down to their level.  I hope he gets his day in court and...

We lost a weekend once due to an individual buy thoring knives the weekend before and leaving them in his drawers

According to the Laws of War... NO

Governments may be able to outsource tasks but cannot outsource the responsibility for them.  A government will never have as much control over the actions of Blackwater, Executive Outcomes, et al, as over its own military forces, but will still be responsible for their decisions.  This case is...
