This should be a good report. The little I've picked up in advance makes you give your head a shake.
The article is mostly about the Canadian investigation team's ineptitude, what did they waste on this, $60 million?
And I don't think Hezbollah is any better or worse then Israel or the IDF, they should all be charged for the crimes they commit. I do note that the Globe article about the show reports that Hariri's family now believe that Israel is the guilty party, which is what Hezbollah also says. I have no idea who did it, and don't really care, just too bad the investigation was such a farce.

Of course that's your opinion flubby. You have no problem with political assassinations, you think that shows that Hezbollah embraces democracy.
You forgot to mention that the G&M article also says all the evidence points to Hezbollah, and discusses how Hezbollah infiltrated the UN investigation and assassinated a witness.

Don't you know by now that to flub/clown nothing done by a Palestinian/Hamas/Hezbollah/Arab can simply be wrong. It can only be wrong but not so bad compared to something Israel has either done or is accused of doing or is rumored to have done or someone's cousin mentioned that someone in Israel might have done etc. That is why he a clown, and a pathetic one at that.Of course that's your opinion flubby.

You are returning to your propagandizing roots, Fuji.Of course that's your opinion flubby. You have no problem with political assassinations, you think that shows that Hezbollah embraces democracy.
I'll repeat what I said.
They should all be charged for the crimes they commit.
Please retract your accusations.
As is Israel, and possibly Hamas.Specifically, once again we see that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization.
Charge them all.
I've been following this for a bit and wouldn't use the term 'covered up' to describe it. The news of high ranking Hezbollah members have come out but the UN is concerned about what the repercussions are when the official report comes out. Most people in Lebanon including Hezbollah and the actual government expect violence as a result if not a full on coup attempt. Hezbollah has done their best to derail the STL by governmental means, vetos, attempts to stop any funding, and outright threats that it will not allow the arrest of any of its members but it seems all parties including Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the US seem committed to getting this done.
Of course it is a challenge to prosecute the guilty when the guilty aren't afraid to turn their weapons on their own government.

Possibly Hamas???? Are you for real?As is Israel, and possibly Hamas.
Charge them all.
Hamas plainly is. I've never seen any credible evidence that Israel is. I hear you say it all the time--but you lack any facts to back up your assertion.As is Israel, and possibly Hamas.
Charge them all.
Hamas is a terrorist organization by its own admission.
So why do you seem to oppose Hezbollah being charged for their crimes when the UN report has more than enough evidence (and still you try to blame Israel for everything)?...
They should all be charged for the crimes they commit.

According to the article I linked the UN "lost" the report when it was first filed, and did not admit to its existence until it came out for other reasons. Even this week it was trying to suppress publication of the evidence--CBC did it over the objections of UN lawyers.I've been following this for a bit and wouldn't use the term 'covered up' to describe it.
The reasons why the UN can't be trusted to handle an investigation like this are complex and subtle. Basically, if the UN were to take a strong line against aggression in the Middle East the Arab League countries would throw the UN out of all their countries, and the UN would become irrelevant.
As a result it's really on a leash and does everything it can to avoid upsetting host governments--including suppressing reports of their horrendous wrong-doing when they surface, as in this case.
It's exactly the same as when the UN had a peacekeeping force on the Israeli border that was supposed to be protecting Israel from Arab aggression--right up until the Arabs decided to invade, and the UN peacekeepers stepped aside to let the invasion force through.
