The War Criminal in the Living Room

by Paul Craig Roberts

Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat whose meticulous
preparation of the case against Richard Nixon forced the Republican
president out of the White House, is serious. And it raises concerns
that, in an age of internationalism and depreciated national
sovereignty, the president of the United States as well as the
defense secretary could be placed in the same defendant's box as
Slobodan Milosevic, the indicted Yugoslavian war criminal.

Zeifman tells Insight the proposed indictment specifically
incorporates all the charges of war crimes already pending against
Milosevic and his henchmen and supplements them with the charges
against Clinton and Cohen. Since the "aggressive military attacks"
against Serbia and Kosovo were not necessary to defend the United
States, the proposal argues, they fall under the category of
"nondefensive aggressive wars" as defined and prohibited in the
charter of the Nuremberg tribunal in 1945 and since included in the
1947 U.N. Charter and subsequent Geneva conventions on the treatment
of civilians during wartime.

In particular, the proposed indictment cites "War Crimes: namely,
violations of the laws or customs of war [including] murder,
ill-treatment... of civilian population, ... wanton destruction of
cities, towns or villages, or devastation not justified by military
necessity. Crimes against Humanity: namely, murder ... and other
inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or
during the war."

Zeifman anticipates that Carter would be called as a witness -- as
well as Walter Rockler, a former Nuremberg prosecutor for the United
States -- and notes that Carter charged in May that the United States
had launched 14,000 missiles and bombs, 4,000 of which were not
precision-guided. These included cluster bombs "that have resulted in
damage to hospitals, offices and residences of ambassadors, and the
senseless and brutal killing of innocent civilians and conscripted
troops."

Zeifman's case also takes another tack: He calls upon Justice Louise
Arbour, a Canadian, to step down from the case, since she has a
conflict of interest by coming from a NATO nation. Indeed, the
salaries of the 14 justices on the court, including five from NATO
members, are paid in part by NATO countries. The chief justice,
Gabrielle Kirk McDonald, is from the United States. Zeifman tells
Insight that you can't have even the appearance of impartiality if
justices from NATO nations are allowed to handle the cases.
