British court finds UK guilty of war crimes

Well at least after a fashion they have. The trial of the so-called "Fairford Two" has ended with a finding of not guilty for the two men who were accused of conspiring to cause criminal damage when they broke into RAF Fairford in 2003 with the intent to damage American B-52s which were being used to bomb Iraq. Their defence argued that their acts were justified by the intent to prevent the commission of a crime, e.g. the illegal bombing of Iraq, and as that has been accepted by the jury this essentially means that war crimes have been or were intended to be committed.

Perhaps the case against the government should now be turned over to the International Criminal Court. I shall hold my breath.
