...critics - gets some of them wrong. Amnesty International says several thousand detainees are being held in long-term detention without trial. Human Rights Watch says Kagame has "equated 'genocidal ideology' with dissent from government policy." Paul Rusesabagina, the central character in the film Hotel Rwanda - in which he shelters Tutsis in Kigali's Mille Collines Hotel - accuses Kagame, a Tutsi, of pursuing vengeance. "Everything has been taken over by the Tutsi. The Hutu ... are intimidated." And it was two Rwandan army invasions in the late 1990s into the Democratic Republic of Congo, in pursuit of fugitive Rwandan génocidaires...
...most wanted man in the world. For a decade Rwanda's alleged genocide financier, Félicien Kabuga, has evaded trial for crimes against humanity and genocide. According to an indictment from the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), Kabuga secured weapons and transport for extremist Hutu militias in 1994, as his RTLM radio station was inciting mass violence.

In a town that is a 50-50 split between old Mormon residents and newcomers with more liberal politics and lifestyles - a split echoed in the makeup of the eight-person jury - it was a gamble for both...
During his summation, Jeffs' lawyer Walter Bugden said the 51-year-old leader was being prosecuted for his religious beliefs and described the victim, Elissa Walls, now 21, who publicly revealed her identity on the last day of the trial, as "no shrinking violet" and her husband, first cousin Allen Steed as a "milquetoast," not a rapist. She had flirted and enticed her husband, Bugden said. It was an old, familiar tactic in rape cases. But prosecutor Brock Belnap won the day by arguing that what Jeffs did by urging the two to "go forth and multiply" was no different...
...same sources tell me that Hizballah will never compromise with the March 14 movement, which it considers an American puppet. The March 14 movement is a political bloc that has promised to disarm Hizballah and take to trial the murderers of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. The same Hizballah sources told me that an interim administration that shares any part of the March 14 agenda is also not acceptable to Hizballah, which controls a third of the seats in the parliament...
