Some Things Never Change
Justice, in Bush's new BFF (best friend forever) Moammar Gadhafi's Libya:

"Prosecutors had demanded death sentences, accusing the Bulgarians of intentionally infecting more than 400 children with HIV-contaminated blood as part of an experiment to find a cure for AIDS. Twenty-three of the children reportedly have since died of AIDS.
Human rights groups charged Libya concocted that story, despite a lack of evidence against the Bulgarians, to cover up a lack of safe practices in its medical clinics.
Libya initially claimed the infections were part of a conspiracy by the CIA and Israeli intelligence, but later backed away from those allegations.
The suspects have said they were jolted with electricity, beaten with sticks and repeatedly jumped on while strapped to their beds. Two of the women said they were raped."
