"And the UN Court position of "command responsibilty" you support is garbage. Is Bush guilty of Abu-Gahrib then by virture of his "command responsibilty"?"

According to Hoplite logic: "Mladic worked for Slobo, ergo, Milosevic bears ultimate responsibility."

That means: American prison guards in AbuGhraib prison worked for Bush, ergo, Bush bears ultimate responsibility for the crimes they committed.

Can you do me a favor and get an inkling of a clue as to how command responsibility works?

No, of course not.

You and your ilk are happiest when you're running off at the mouth to the cheers of your equally ignorant peers, and to hell with taking the time to acquaint yourselves with even the meanest of understandings of the subject under discussion.

Well just for your edification, dear Jane, Command Responsibility requires either knowledge beforehand, or the failure to act upon becoming aware of a crime after the fact.

So unless one of you clueless drones can point to a Serbian version of the Taguba report produced before the OHR put boot to Bosnian Serb ass, or a Serbian prosecution of anybody responsible for what transpired at Srebrenica, you're merely laying your ignorance painfully bare for all to see.

So in summation, Jane, what makes me an expert?

Nothing, other than I have the willingness to look up information pertinent to the discussion, such as the ICTY's statute Article 7, para 3, which makes your and Destro's positioins nothing more than uninformed garbage.
