Oz Attorney General Refuses War Crimes Trail for Sri Lankan President

The most Washington compliant and traitorous Oz government in history, Juliar Gillard’s Labor government, has again lived up to its vile, and traitorous reputation. The Attorney General, Robert McClelland, the same as took possession of Julian Assange’s passport and was ready to revoke his citizenship so that Washington would have an easier time of apprehending him in the future, has again taken directives from the world’s leading civilian killing, terrorist nation and allowed Washington favoured Sri Lankan President and KNOWN WAR CRIMINAL to go free.

It is a measure of total subservience to Washington that also saw the PM, Juliar Gillard, label Assange a “criminal” when no charges had been proven against him! Gillard’s defence minister, Stephen ‘kneepads’ Smith, had only the week before feebly attempted to gloss over Gillard’s approval of FIVE new full scale US military BASES in Oz, by referring to them as 'joint facilities' not bases! Charges of treason would not be inappropriate for a number of senior ministers in the Gillard government who have followed their PM’s lead in surrendering Australian sovereignty and self-determination to a foreign power – the case is easily proven!

An abundance of hard documentary evidence of extra-judicial killings, rapes and other atrocities committed by Sinhalese forces in the closing stages of the campaign against the LTTE, exists in the public domain; indeed the authenticated material has been the source of numerous documentaries and news coverage in Oz and abroad. Yet the lackey AG cites diplomatic immunity as the reason he declined to pursue charges against the Lankan President.

No valid legal arguments exist that would see a known war criminal avoid accountability. We refer to numerous international political leaders that have been dragged before the extremely partial ICC at the Hague for verification. McClelland’s excuse simply does not hold and his feeble attempt to please his Washington masters is evident to all. Need we remind the Attorney General that Washington now openly – “we came, we saw, he died” referring to the murder of Col. Gaddafi – engages in the assassination of international leaders disapproved of by Washington, as 'normal' policy.

I would remind Gillard, her AG and other senior ministers that this is NOT criminal America; Oz continues to abide by civilised laws not political expediency. Local laws are very easily applied to treasonous politicians, most notably brazen war criminal and former PM, John ‘deputy sheriff’ Howard, who knowingly lied Australian into the illegal Iraq war. If diplomatic immunity does not apply to the many accused political leaders hauled before the Hague courts then it would seem a very feeble avoiding tactic here.

We also recall the Sri Lankan Ambassador claiming that war crimes “do not apply to the victors,” citing America as the example! Well, we would draw attention to the depths to which Washington has sunk and the increased overt criminal activity America now engages in, which today includes the overt assassination of national political leaders, as proof of a society descending into lawlessness.

While Canberra politicians may choose to risk future prosecution for circumventing legal process, the Oz population continues to respect the law and acknowledges that the LAW must apply to ALL without fear or favour or regard to one’s station in life.

It should also be noted that without the support of American UAV 'Drone' reconnaissance the campaign against the LTTE would not have been successful.
