Huh?
The director of a U.S. Catholic archdiocese ministry wants to put President George W. Bush on trial for war crimes because of his Iraq policy.

In his most recent newsletter, Frank Fromherz, of the Peace and Justice Commission for the Portland Archdiocese in Oregon urged like-minded Catholics to back an ecumenical group's request that "the International Criminal Court indict and prosecute our own president as a war criminal."


Mr Fromherz said, "We must be in solidarity with the social power of active nonviolence among the people who make their home along the Tigris and Euphrates,” which would lead me to think he hasn’t read article in the new Vanity Fair about Saddam Hussein’s sons. There a lot of “not nice” people afflicting the people who make their home along the Tigris and Euphrates. George Bush is not one of them.

I am a bit compulsive about reading while I eat (when alone, of course - I’m not a total boor) The article about Saddam’s sons was not conducive to pleasant digestion.

But here’s the encouraging news.........Fromherz and the commission's other two employees lost their jobs this week along with 15 others in a round of archdiocese layoffs attributed to budget cuts.
