Desmond Tutu: Haul Bush, Blair in for ICC Trial PAIR BEHAVED 'LIKE PLAYGROUND BULLIES' IN FALSELY STARTING IRAQ WAR By the Associated Press newser.com Posted Sep 2, 2012 6:48 AM CDT (AP) – Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Desmond Tutu says Tony Blair and George Bush should face prosecution at the International Criminal Court for their role in the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq. Tutu, the retired Anglican Church's archbishop of South Africa, wrote in an op-ed piece for the Observer today that the ex-leaders of Britain and the United States should be made to "answer for their actions." He accused Blair and Bush of fabricating "the grounds to behave like playground bullies" and said the Iraq war destabilized the Middle East more than "any other conflict in history." Tutu, a staunch critic of the Iraq war, last week withdrew from a conference in South Africa due to Blair's presence at the event. The US does not recognize the International Criminal Court.

Not Much Post-Convention Bounce for Mitt POLL CHANGES MOSTLY JUST 'NOISE,' SAYS NATE SILVER By Mark Russell, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Sep 2, 2012 6:03 AM CDT (NEWSER) – Just days after the end of the Republican National Convention, it looks like Mitt Romney's "bounce" is pretty modest, writes Nate Silver for the New York Times. Rasmussen's poll produced the best result, giving Romney a five-point swing and a three-percentage-point lead now. Ipsos now has Romney one point behind President Obama, for a three-point gain. And Gallup still has Obama one point in the lead, although, as Gallup uses a seven-day window, its poll is only halfway through the convention. Add up all the results, preliminary though they may be, and Silver is giving Obama a 73.1% chance at winning the election in November, just off his highest rating of the year, 73.6% on Aug. 16. "But whatever assumptions you make about a convention bounce, it introduces more noise into the polling," says Silver, noting that next week "the pressure will then be on Mr. Obama."
