Malice in Mali

Both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are claiming that the Mali Army is committing atrocities in the wake of the French push into the north of the country.

Will this be part of Hollande's legacy? Not only has his Malian adventure provided a great recruiting tool for the jihadist groups, but the French action is facilitating crimes against humanity.

Here's how the French Defense minister responded to the charges; "the President of France is counting on Mali's Army leaders to hold themselves responsible for avoiding any abuses. Their honor is at stake."

That should put a stop to it.
