...That's rubbish, says Moreno-Ocampo. "Al-Bashir killed thousands of people saying 'You're black, you're African' ... The shame would be if this court ignored the victims of Darfur." (See pictures of Darfuri refugees...
...Lanka's Good Guys The moment by Romesh Ratnesar says that in Sri Lanka "there are no good guys" [May 25]. This is rubbish because 99.9% of Sri Lankans are good, peace-loving people.

"Some Russian newspapers [in Crimea] publish such nasty rubbish about Tatars. There are provocations against us, but it's not our culture to respond to these with violence." Jemilev, who spent 15 years in prison camps during the Soviet period for campaigning for Tatar rights, contends that Russia is handing out Russian passports in the Crimea and could...
