[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 843711, member: 12952"] [INDENT]TRIPOLI – In a sign of just how isolated it is becoming, the Libyan government has embarked on what might kindly be described as a Quixotic quest: To take NATO and its leading political figures to a court they hope will be set up somewhere in South America to face charges of “war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes of aggression.” The tactic is a kind of class action suit on behalf of the families of thirteen people allegedly killed by NATO airstrikes. At a press conference in Tripoli on Sunday to announce the plan, representatives of the petitioners held up photos of their dead loved ones, while the two lawyers promised, “We will compensate you for your sadness.” Questioned as to whether or not families in places like the besieged city of Misrata might also be entitled to similar compensation, Dumas retorted that the Libyan government was fighting a war against a rebellion that had outside help.
