We shouldn't discuss the politics of the ICC in the polite company of wikipedia, but I'd say this is perfectly valid:

I found Rick Wilson's remarks incoherent, and still can't be sure of whether he is for or against the court... His claim that Wikipedia is somehow complicit in Bush's war crimes makes no sense at all, whether you're for or against the ICC.
The charge of "incoherence" is valid. That claim that we're war criminals is just goofball. It might help to know that Rick calls himself a "former Maoist organizer," whatever that may mean.
Ed's approach to this subject has all the appearance of a troll.
I don't agree. I agree in substance with Ed's views on the ICC, but *really* we shouldn't discuss politics on the list. It's outside the scope of our mission, and very dangerous for WikiLove.
