Revisiting: Frederica Jansz and the white flag drama (on the day of the verdict) dedicated to Laliths and AnuD

The issue of the `while flag` needs more probing, since it is being reduced to simplistic proportions. Now where did this story originate? Who used this term? And, most important of all, who gave it international publicity, which supposedly woke up Ban Ki-Moon from his sleep and made him indulge in his now famous antics in our regard? To whom did the story serve most? The source was foreign.

Battlefield US: Americans face arrest as war criminals under Army state law
Wednesday, 30 November 2011 - 4:51 AM SL Time

America is opening up a new warfront and it`s in your own backyard. It`s in your neighbor`s house, it`s three states over and it`s on the other side of the Mississippi.
That`s what a new legislation could lead to and the consequences are dire and constitutionally damning.
The United States Senate is set to vote this week on a bill that would categorize the entire USA as a battlefield, allowing law enforcement duties to be dished out by the American Military, who in turn could detain any US citizen as a war criminal even coming into their own homes to issue arrests.
