The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

If True it is Appalling

There is this suggestion that the Department of Justice (DoJ) has decided that there is two tier justice in the US.

Here is how Attorney General Eric Holder is quoted:
The 9/11 attacks were both an act of war and a violation of our federal criminal law, and they could have been prosecuted in either federal courts or military commissions.
The writer, Eric Posner, goes on to say:
It is surely this: the Obama administration has decided to offer a two-tiered system of justice. We might call them the “high-quality” (civilian) tier and “low-quality” (military) tier. ... The Obama administration will use the high-quality system against people when it has a strong case, and the low-quality system against people when it has a weak case.
If this is true it is outrageous.

If this is so, then it is time to eliminate the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).  The other option is to apply the UCMJ to everyone.

I wonder what George Anthes thinks about this.

Well, it is outrageous and appalling but not unexpected. This is much more about political theater using the court system as a grand stage. If a military tribunal finds KSM guilty and sentences him to death, the far lefties and other bleeding heart groups around the world will scream foul....and for a hyper-narcissist....that is not acceptable. This way, it is a "real" court that will do the same thing...even The One has said so.......so the critics can't whine....well....very much.

I am reminded of an old saying, "Military Justice is to justice as military music is to music."

Finally, Americans continue to confuse law with justice. Bad mistake as one does not necessarily provide the other.
