South Africa in the looney bin

You just gotta love lawyers and judges! When we really need them, they just fail us left, right, and center because of "procedural grounds". Jacob Zuma's charges have been dismissed on just such "procedural grounds" and so we are about to get ourselves another leader of disturbing moral character, who is whining about being left "a wounded warrior"! The article in the Mail & Guardian
would be funny if the consequences were not so dire. The NPA (National Prosecuting Authority) is considering appealing the ruling...perhaps they ought to have done a better job in the first place. There is also a report in the NYT.
