Criminal Justice (Joint Investigation Teams) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

It is essential that the rule of law is supported internationally. It worries me when I hear President Bush state those who collaborated with the suicide bombings – the bombers are all dead – will be subjected to American justice. Unfortunately, American justice to date has involved sending people to Guantanamo Bay or issuing instructions to catch people dead or alive, as was the case with the soldiers who received the pack of 55 cards distributed in Iraq. Even the President used those words. Fortunately, the people featured on the cards have apparently decided to give themselves up, a much more sensible option than being hunted down.
