U.S. to Cut $15M in Aid to Ecuador

"The United States will withhold $15 million in military aid to Ecuador for not signing an agreement granting U.S. military members immunity from an international court, the U.S. ambassador said.

The move comes after Washington decided last July to freeze military aid to nations that refuse to guarantee that members of the U.S. military would not be handed over to the new International Criminal Court in Belgium."

I thought Lucio Gutierrez would make a difference but he seems to be bought and paid for already.

5. Boosh Regime Behavior Change Entertaining

Whatever I may think about the wisdom of allowing US officers and politicians to be extradited for alleged war crimes, I find the Boosh regime's behavior change to be highly entertaining. From acting like the arrogant overlords of the Earth, they are beginning to behave a bit like the "extraditables" of the Medellin cocaine cartel from a decade ago.
