ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR Michael Handel, in his work Military Deception in Peace and War, notes that cheating, deception and fraud are punishable under our criminal code, but that different norms have come to be accepted in diplomacy and international affairs, espionage, covert action, and the conduct of warfare. Deception is a good force multiplier when used to cause the enemy to make an incorrect estimate of your strength or intentions and thereby hold troops needlessly in reserve or even to redeploy them to meet a perceived threat. Deception is done to gain a competitive advantage over the enemy and is predicated on the enemy taking some type of incorrect action. www.usafa.af.mil /jscope/JSCOPE95/Chomeau95.html

Is Bush a War Criminal? The necessity for a war crimes investigation of Bush is critical to reminding Americans and the world, that the euphoria of US victory must not obscure how serious deception and deceit are to the future of freedom and global peace. A war crimes investigation is therefore necessary to ascertain whether or not the Bush administration conspired to ignore evidence that Hussein's weapons of mass destruction were indeed already destroyed or did not pose a threat. And count two was "Waging Aggressive War, or Crimes Against Peace." From Casefiles: This evidence was presented by the British prosecutors and was defined in the indictment as "the planning, preparation, initiation, and waging of wars of aggression, which were also wars in violation of international treaties, agreements, and assurances." www.informationclearinghouse.info /article3254.htm   (4363 words)

portland imc - 2002.12.01 - 9-11 Criminal Negligence -- Part 2 of 2 Although there may be the possibilities of additional wrong-doing or criminal intention, this criminal negligence and the deception of the American people involved in their cover-up of that negligence are already clear from the public record.

Converted WP file 103102 Squires contends that the trial court could not properly grant partial summary judgment on his criminal deception claim because that claim was not the claim on which Utility originally sought partial summary judgment and no designation of materials relating to the criminal deception claim was made to which he could respond.

FORC:Journal Winter 1997: RICO CLAIMS AND EXTRATERRITORIALITY ISSUES IN GEORGIA HEALTH INSURANCE CONTRACT RESCISSION Plaintiffs alleged a pattern of racketeering activity committed by Security by unlawfully appropriating Plaintiffs' property with intent to deprive them of their property in violation of Georgia criminal statutes O.C.G.A. 16-8-2 (theft by taking), O.C.G.A. 16-183 (theft by deception), O.C.G.A. 16-19-1 (forgery in the first degree) and 18 U.S.C. 1341 (mail fraud). Rejecting the arguments that there was no evidence Security had the "general criminal intent" for these offenses, the court held that the criminal conduct and intent of Security's agent who forged the application could be implied to Security and so instructed the jury.
