The revelations came in a response to criticism aimed at the Clinton administration from the group “Human Rights Watch” which claimed the US was trying to undermine attempts to create a permanent independent criminal court. In a related report, the U.S. Secretary of Defense said Tuesday that there was “a need for some kind of international police force. Yes, there should be an international […]

Cardinal Bernard Law, the head of the Catholic Church in Boston, sent a letter to Sony’s president calling the move “appalling.
