The only manifesto I will sign is that for John Kerry’s trial and execution for collaboration with North Vietnamese war criminals. You know, John sweety pie, the ones that butchered over 2000 Viet Namese civilians in Hue AFTER the Tet offensive in 1968.

Actually we know that their legal status is that they are illegal combants (lacking a chain of command, not wearing uniforms or distingusing markers, desgusing themselves as civilians, e.t.c.), and as such under the Hague and Geneva Conventions they can be treated as such and subjected to death in the field or held as long as a lawful combatants wishes to hold them before exicution or release.
