really done their homework. Michael Mandel in a real guy, a professor of international law at the University of Toronto. During the '99 bombing of Serbia, he worked to get Clinton tried for war-crimes, that how I know about him.
Ah, too bad though, my respect for the Canadian gov't would have skyrocketed had this turned out to be real.
