Can you retract a retraction?

This entire affair is absolutely sickening. I am too tired, to weatherbeaten by the amount of political bullshit we endure on a daily basis to respond in any intelligent fashion to this whole Quran/Newsweek/Guantanamo situation, so I’m just going to hold off until tomorrow.
For now, though, do me one favor: Read through these links and tell me what it would take for the international community to force a truly independent investigation on the US?

I remember on Bush’s last visit to Canada certain groups were pushing to have him tried as a war criminal while he was there, however infeasible that may have seemed to most of us. I think you ask a really important question, one I really don’t know the answer to. I think that with the extent to which we are seeing repeated flagrant abuses at the hands of the US government in the press, and from the mouths of human rights groups lately, if such a breaking point exists (ie if the international community has the strength and resolve to take such an action) we must surely be close.
