Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, when not slamming the ABC for asking legitimate questions about the trial of David Hicks, likes to belt out a tune or two.
He can't sing and should stick to playing the role of obedient, little US client state representative.

Red Kezza gave him a hammering last night. If he and his mob didn't have the media fixed, they'd be fucked. But they do, so they're not.
Would this be an irregular rendition?
Downer, Ruddock and Howard act in an environment where, currently at least, they will not be facing war crimes charges.
Developments in international law mean that 'civilised' Western leaders may soon be having to face the music, rather than just previous US-client states, ie. Saddam.
In the, admittedly highly unlikely, event that Downer is ever charged as a result of the memos, would he prefer to be prosecuted under the rules of the US Military Tribunals, or of the International Criminal Court?
I can't speak for Downer, but I'd rather be tried by the US MT than facing the possibility of a trial where all of the judges are from regimes that have sharia as part of their legal system.

There's nothing stopping North Korea or the like kidnapping them, dragging them to their own country and trying them there.
