Bin Laden’s driver convicted of, um, a war crime?

That’s right folks. Hamdan: War criminal. Basically, the crime was “material support” of someone else who committed war crimes.

… although the terminology “material support” may not have existed historically, the laws of war have long prohibited stealthy attacks on civilians, the mainstay of terrorism groups and the target of material-support charges.

Totally. And representatives of the U.S. government have never offered material support to any war criminals who committed stealthy attacks on civilians. We don’t do that sort of thing. Unless we need to Protect Your Freedoms, in which case, that information is classified.

Excuse me while I go throw up in the corner.

  1. I wonder how many levels “material support” includes. Like, what if I served dinner to the mechanic of the guy who drove bin Laden? Would the mechanic and I be guilty of third and fourth degree of seperation war crimes?
