Following is an excerpt from an interview with former British minister Clare Short, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on April 14, 2008. The translation is according to the Arabic voice-over.

Clare Short: As you know, there is an international court, which is new. But America is against this court, and did not ratify its establishment, because this court will try criminals around the world. So in the short term, it will be impossible to try George Bush in this court. But on the other hand, if you remember Pinochet, he was a cruel military dictator in Chile. It took a very long time - many years- after the signing of the [U.N.] Convention against Torture, that a judge in France (sic) issued a ruling against Pinochet, and he was arrested there. Let's be realistic - I don't believe that Blair and Bush will be arrested right away, but this issue may haunt them, because after all, they will not die very soon, since they are not old. Just like Pinochet was tried - who knows? There are brave lawyers who are waiting for this opportunity, which will come one day.
