[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] You don't have a criminal justice system either, you have a criminal vengeance system. And we're sorry to have thwarted your little don't-get-mad-get-even scheme. The guy was about to win his appeal anyway, unless the specific evidence certain to guarantee that was suppressed - again - by government order. And Americans can hardly carp over the denial of one group of people's interests in favour of the interests of a government. That's exactly what happened in South-East Asia after World War II, when the native peoples, after being encouraged by the US to fight the Japanese with a promise of eventual independence from French Colonial rule, found that once the war was over, it suited US interests FAR better if, um, French Colonial rule was re-established. OK, so the repercussions of that little miscalculation were a tad more severe than there being a few less Yanks staring hopefully at Loch Ness next summer, but the point is valid. [/QB][/QUOTE]
