[Omar Khadr] is accused of hurling a grenade that killed U.S. army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer, a Special Forces commando, during a July 2002 firefight at an al-Qaida compound in Afghanistan. Khadr's trial is scheduled for May and is on track to be the first for a detainee at the U.S. naval base in southeast Cuba, where the Pentagon's efforts to hold the first war-crimes trials since the Second World War era have been stalled by legal setbacks. International law, Canadian law, and U.S. law all hold that a person of Khadr's age at the time of the alleged offences can be tried for his crimes," he argued.

Known among rival spies as "the man without a face" for his elusiveness, [Markus Wolf] planted some 4,000 agents in the West -- most famously placing Guenter Guillaume as a top aide to West German Chancellor Willy Brandt. The agent's unmasking forced Brandt to resign in 1974. Wolf's service was part of East Germany's all-pervasive secret police, the Stasi, which was widely loathed and feared for its huge network of domestic informants. Wolf served under Erich Mielke, the hated Stasi chief, from 1956 until the fall of the Berlin Wall. Some also believe Wolf was the model for John Le Carre's wily communist spymaster "Karla" in his espionage novels.

It's taken the Supreme Court six years to make a determination that these detainees are being held beyond the rule of law, and I'm grateful they've finally come to uphold the rule of law. [Antonin Scalia] said the United States is "at war with radical Islamists" and that the court's decision "will make the war harder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed." "The Supreme Court has finally brought an end to one of our nation's most egregious injustices," said the organization's Executive Director Vincent Warren. "By granting the writ of habeas corpus, the Supreme Court recognizes a rule of law established hundreds of years ago and essential to American jurisprudence since our nation's founding."

While [Louise Arbour] was hobnobbing with anti-Semites, butchers and anti-democratic forces from around the world, Iranians were being prepared for public hangings," according to a National Review Online report. "Arbour was reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency as having 'expressed pleasure with being at the NAM meeting and described Iran's representative office in the UN in Geneva as very good.' The report continues that "the day after Arbour left Iran, the government felt sufficiently buoyed by its UN stamp of approval that (it publicly) executed 21 prisoners." People are given the death penalty in Iran for charges like "enmity against God" or "being corrupt on earth." The conference challenged the concept of universal human rights standards applicable to all human beings and...
