Some supporters of Israel see in the latest Wiki-leak the opportunity to bury the Goldstone Report (PDF) and attendant international criticism of Israel’s war in Lebanon. Israeli MK Michael Ben Ari, of the Kahane strain, would bury along with it those former (and no longer useful) American high officials whose expenditure in American blood–largely to rid Israel of a hostile neighbor–continues:
On Monday, Israeli lawmaker Michael Ben Ari said he filed a formal complaint with the UN, calling for war crimes investigations of senior American politicians and “international arrest warrants for US government leaders.”
The neocons have the friends they deserve.

The Israelis are world renowned experts in torture and “security” matters generally. They’re so much better than Americans at this that the governors of New Jersey and Pennsylvania hired them to run their respective states’ Homeland Security departments.
Israel trained a large percentage of the torture crews of Latin and South America from the 70s on. Many of the trainers had learned their craft in one or another of the totalitarian Communist bloc states prior to migrating to Israel. Later, thanks to neocon patronage and the post-9/11 fashion of excusing and even glorifying the most thuggish aspects of Israeli treatment of the Palestinians (never forget John Podhoretz crowing “We’re all Israelis now!”), Americans were eased into emulating this aspect of the Jewish state.
Now that we’re deep into the torturing, murdering and collateral-damaging game that they taught us, they call for war crimes investigations of the poor dupes who thought their teachers would be pleased with them. Not because they have any objection to war crimes, but because calling Americans into the dock will cloud the issue of their own crimes. With friends like this indeed.
