France continues strikes in northern Mali

French warplanes have pounded rebel camps in the far north of Mali, hours after French President Francois Hollande visited the West African country.
Thierry Burkhard, spokesman for the French army in Paris, said on Sunday the overnight raids targeted logistics bases and training camps used by the al Qaeda-linked rebels to the north of the desert town of Kidal.
"These were important air strikes," Burkhard said.
He said the bombing raids took place around the settlement of Tessalit, close to the Algerian border, one of the main gateways into the Adrar des Ifoghas mountains where the rebels are believed to be hiding after fleeing major towns.

The law in the service of Nazi murderers

Germany court German legal formalism combined with an absence of basic human courage made German jurists Hitler's partners in crime. These legal experts enabled the Nazis to take over Germany more easily. They enabled the rest of the citizenry and the soldiers - those who turned a blind eye, who informed, who looted Jewish property, who collaborated and who carried out orders - to be part of the Nazi killing machine by providing them with "moral" justification for doing such things, in the guise of obeying the law.
