Quote for the day:
Says Robert Owen, former top State Department lawyer (1978-80):
"Suppose that Nicaragua had a ship 12 miles off New York
harbor that was dispatching speedboats into New York to
lay mines. One could imagine the reaction of the United
States as to whether it's a violation of international
law."
..said in response to the announcement by the Reagan administration that
it would REFUSE to abide by any verdict of the World Court on
Nicagarua's complaint of US mining of its ports.
