Defence [War] Minister, war criminal, Robert Hill says rebel leaders in the Solomon Islands, who have committed serious crimes like murder, should not be allowed to escape justice. [And neither should he.]
But the state does kill and has killed for example; if you take Hill as a rebel leader himself after the killings in Iraq?
The alleged rebel Harold Keke met the head of the Australian-led intervention force [colonial military force] in the Solomons last week. Mr Keke has agreed to hand over his weapons, but he says six missionaries he has been holding hostage since April have died.
Of course he had to say that because that's the hook, the government give the media to help influence millions of Australians that their actions have good intentions. But do they?
In reality Keke may have had to prevent people who were sent to him from undermining his community. Keke may have got lost trying to solve his community problems, which led to the eventual deaths of these alleged missionaries, that he says were sent to him.
Senator Hill has told the ABC's Insiders [ABC Government propaganda] program any evidence of major crimes should be pursued.
[Then what about the John Howard government's major war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan? What's good for the goose is good for the gander!]
Pursued or hooked? May I suggest Hook, Line and Sinker if you're a stinker like Hill.
"I'm expecting those that have committed serious crimes to be brought to justice, I think Australians would be uncomfortable if the solution in the Solomons allowed those who have committed murders to avoid [that]," he said.
[You said it fool, so hand yourself in, war criminal!]

THE PAIL OF WATER: One wonders if the major crime in this case is that Harold Keke is not a capitalist? In fact I don't even wonder about it. Apart from the alleged murders, that is if he gets a fair trial, and not just shot, then it remains to be seen. I can't say the same for war criminal Robert Hill.
