In-justice

Naharnet reports:

Mustaqbal Movement leader Saad Hariri has reportedly worked out a settlement to distribute seats among forces of the March 14 majority giving the justice portfolio to the Lebanese Forces and the public works ministry to the Progressive Socialist Party.

Yep. You read correctly. The Justice portfolio could be given to the Lebanese Forces, a party that was illegal two years ago (made illegal by the same Mustaqbal Movement that is now giving them the portfolio) and whose chief was just recently released from prison, not because he was exonerated, but because he was pardoned with an amnesty law.

Soon, it's actually possible that the guy in the picture (or one of his minions) will be our new Justice minister... If that happens we will all find out a new meaning to the phrase "blind justice."
