Helpful note to European [snip]No Capital Punishment in Germany
But it looks like the upcoming trial will cause headaches for Germany. Holder and US President Barack Obama have announced that they intend to seek the death penalty if the five defendants are found guilty. German law prohibits capital punishment, yet evidence provided by German investigators will play a key role in the trial.
This presents the German government with a dilemma. Berlin can either oppose the use of German evidence in a bid to protect the defendants from execution -- and risk alienating a NATO ally in the process -- or it can approve the use of the incriminating documents, which would contravene Germany's position on the death penalty.
Kind of sorry to see that all it took was a smooth tongued salesman. But you just keep telling us how much smarter you are than we are.

That deserves to be an "Obamateurism of the day" over at Hot Air.
Barry Lackwit sure does have a talent for self-inflicted cases of athlete's tongue.
In other news, a survey of British veterans of WW2 found some not-unfamiliar sentiments to be widespread among their Greatest Generation.
It's not like they were actually going to, you know, croak the guys over there. There must be plausible deniability, or a pony, in here somewhere. How about this-"Ve vere chust following international law."
