這回如何玩法？

       瞧（喬）大爺又冒泡了，這回又是道理上講得通，實際上行不通。美國特工隊可以在巴基斯坦取拉登性命，伊拉克特工隊眼下想在美國取小布希性命幾無可能。「金兵有狼牙棒，宋人有天靈蓋」——說到底就是胳膊扭不過大腿，結巴說不過快嘴，強弱異勢耳。

       小白臉葯家鑫怕農村人只傷不死找麻煩，捅死了拉倒；奧巴馬也怕拉登活著找麻煩，故繳槍不繳槍通殺，以絕後患。人皆曰葯家鑫該殺，卻不知奧巴馬罔顧「程序正義」，也是於法有差。美國律師們這回少了個發財的機會，卻一齊做了啞巴；只有一個不曉事的語言學家胡亂嚷嚷（謬論見附文）——不是法律磚家、法學叫獸，哪裡輪得著你亂點鴛鴦譜的喬老爺來說話？

       電影《追捕》故事結尾處，檢察官杜丘開槍殺了罪犯，矢村警長搶過手槍又補了幾槍，然後言道：「我打死他是正當防衛」，公然地為杜丘的違法行為作了遮蓋。當時看得真過癮，現在回頭想想，難道自視行為正當，就可以玩法？想想當下，這情形每況愈下，回頭再有人去上海吊車廠玩自動剎車也無須大驚小怪的了。

       胡話少說，且用一曲小令做收煞：[調寄如夢令]休說法相莊嚴，莫談程序正義，民主爆菊花！這回如何玩法？玩法、玩法，誰個臉白嘴小？誰個臉黑嘴大？

Noam Chomsky: My Reaction to Osama bin Laden』s Death

May 6, 2011

It』s increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination, multiply violating elementary norms of international law. There appears to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim, as presumably could have been done by 80 commandos facing virtually no opposition—except, they claim, from his wife, who lunged towards them. In societies that profess some respect for law, suspects are apprehended and brought to fair trial. I stress 「suspects.」 In April 2002, the head of the FBI, Robert Mueller, informed the press that after the most intensive investigation in history, the FBI could say no more than that it 「believed」 that the plot was hatched in Afghanistan, though implemented in the UAE and Germany. What they only believed in April 2002, they obviously didn』t know 8 months earlier, when Washington dismissed tentative offers by the Taliban (how serious, we do not know, because they were instantly dismissed) to extradite bin Laden if they were presented with evidence—which, as we soon learned, Washington didn』t have. Thus Obama was simply lying when he said, in his White House statement, that 「we quickly learned that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by al Qaeda.」

Nothing serious has been provided since. There is much talk of bin Laden』s 「confession,」 but that is rather like my confession that I won the Boston Marathon. He boasted of what he regarded as a great achievement.

There is also much media discussion of Washington』s anger that Pakistan didn』t turn over bin Laden, though surely elements of the military and security forces were aware of his presence in Abbottabad. Less is said about Pakistani anger that the U.S. invaded their territory to carry out a political assassination. Anti-American fervor is already very high in Pakistan, and these events are likely to exacerbate it. The decision to dump the body at sea is already, predictably, provoking both anger and skepticism in much of the Muslim world.

It's like naming our murder weapons after victims of our crimes: Apache, Tomahawk… It』s as if the Luftwaffe were to call its fighter planes 「Jew」 and 「Gypsy.」

We might ask ourselves how we would be reacting if Iraqi commandos landed at George W. Bush』s compound, assassinated him, and dumped his body in the Atlantic. Uncontroversially, his crimes vastly exceed bin Laden』s, and he is not a 「suspect」 but uncontroversially the 「decider」 who gave the orders to commit the 「supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole」 (quoting the Nuremberg Tribunal) for which Nazi criminals were hanged: the hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of refugees, destruction of much of the country, the bitter sectarian conflict that has now spread to the rest of the region.

There』s more to say about [Cuban airline bomber Orlando] Bosch, who just died peacefully in Florida, including reference to the 「Bush doctrine」 that societies that harbor terrorists are as guilty as the terrorists themselves and should be treated accordingly. No one seemed to notice that Bush was calling for invasion and destruction of the U.S. and murder of its criminal president.

Same with the name, Operation Geronimo. The imperial mentality is so profound, throughout western society, that no one can perceive that they are glorifying bin Laden by identifying him with courageous resistance against genocidal invaders. It』s like naming our murder weapons after victims of our crimes: Apache, Tomahawk… It』s as if the Luftwaffe were to call its fighter planes 「Jew」 and 「Gypsy.」

There is much more to say, but even the most obvious and elementary facts should provide us with a good deal to think about.
