"Fujimori gets 25 years on conviction in human rights case; Found guilty of murder, kidnappings" by Joshua Partlow, Washington Post | April 8, 2009
RIO DE JANEIRO - Former Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori was convicted yesterday of human rights violations and sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in killings and kidnappings by security forces during his government's battle against leftist guerrillas in the 1990s.
Let's see: 3,000 dead because of that 9/11 inside job; nearly 5,000 American troops killed in wars based on lies; millions of Iraqis and an unknowable (?? -- that six million figure of you-know-what is pretty incontrovertible though, huh) number of Afghans and Pakistanis; missile raids on Somalia; and those who have died at the hands of torture.
That enough of a starting point for you, America?
The verdict, delivered by a three-judge panel on a police base outside Lima where Fujimori has been held throughout the trial, marked the first time that an elected head of state has been extradited back to his home country, tried, and convicted of human rights violations....
And WE DON'T EVEN NEED to EXTRADITE BUSH'S ASS -- he is right here!!!!!
Whadda ya mean PAGE EXPIRED?!!!!!!!
Fujimori, 70, argued in defiant outbursts during his 16-month trial that he never ordered the killings perpetrated by a death squad of the Army Intelligence Service known as the Colina Group and that he was rather a wartime president fighting to protect his people.
Oh, yeah, THROW DICK into the MIX, will ya?
"The Peru that I inherited was a disaster. It was a Peru that had to be rescued," he said in his closing statements.
He then invoked 9/11!
