Until he's tried--not even just for subverting American democracy, but for what he did to Indochina--jailing Armstrong is a mockery of justice, like arresting someone for breaking a flowerpot with his head.

As some 150 students and professors crowded the cafeteria of Jerusalem's Hebrew University, a 2-lb. plastic bomb, hidden in a flowerpot, exploded and injured 29 persons.
