Having read Sean McCormack's interview, I am asking linguistic wizards, analytical philosophers or even lawyers to tell me what the following really means:
We call on the Ethiopian government and High Court to take action in making a
final sentencing determination, which is consistent with the greater objectives
of bolstering the rule of law and promoting much-needed reconciliation.
Is there a possibility that punishment of "treasonous criminals" by death is consistent with the two objectives read together? If there is a theoretical possibility that the objectives of bolstering the rule of law and promoting reconciliation which is much needed- not necessary- read together are consistent with the punishment of "treasonous criminals" by death, I am wondering whether there is a possibility that the US may support, or at least not oppose, the decision of the high court, and then ultimately the Ethiopian government, if a death sentence is made?

Zagol. As far as the American position is concerned, it is crystal clear. Thay are complicit with whatever the Ethiopian government intends to do. They plan and do things together. We don't seem to learn from history. We allow them to confuse us. They always tell us "we are surprised" and we get carried away by their fake statments.
You got it! Sean McCormack's comment is just a 'PR'. America was silent for the last 2 yrs where the innocent prisoners of concious are languishing in prison. If they were genuine, they should press for immediate release of the Kaliti prisoners without condition. 'Balebetun yetemamenech beg latuan wuch tasadralech'. 'Hod siyawuk doro mata'. His interview is revealing American attitude & their disrespect towards the people of Ethiopia. They are demonizing Mugabe in every possible way you can imagine, while supporting and pumping millions of dollars to woyane thugs. The difference between Harare and Addis is, one is colorful than the other and covered under the name of 'democracy'.
God Almighty will judge us all!

It is a safe game being played by the White House. Its always like that the State Department does one thing and the White House appears to defend it by saying the opposit. Bad-Cop, Good-Cop game. Ultimately though the result is all the same, if the US wants they can tell Meles and he wouldn't say a word other than accept the final say of the US (White-House or State Department).
The objective is to confuse the public, you still think they are with us but they are not with either. They are there for their own benefit, if TPLF was too rough with the US the US would have removed it, but TPLF has relinquished its foreign policy to "CIA" so why should they be against it as long as TPLF does what he is told.
The problem is ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE. We have to show them we mean business, we have been too passive. We have to let them know we mean business. We have to show some effort not be undermined and to be respected. We have all the militray might and technical ability. TPLF is a group of uneducated jungle men. We can out think them, we can out smart them, and we can certainly out fight them and defeat them. All we have to do is stand up and bring them down.
Hmm..is this what they call Double Talk?
The US knows in details and hour by
hour what Meles and Co. are doing.
MacCormacks statement is pure
semantic hogwash and a typical example of what "now Days" is called diplomacy. The US is a great nation, it is a pity that its foreign policy has being so debased.
How any of us are aware of the US and French complice in the Rwanda genocide, by complicating or hindering any form of peace which was tried to pass through the UN. The French protected the Rwandan regim, while the US blocked at several occasions the UN based peace effort. Search in the internet and you will learn more about that.
The French and American Embassy in Addis are repeating the samething in Ethiopia. It was the French and the American Embassy in Addis tried all means to break and weaken the peaceful struggle in Ethiopia. Its these two countries who have been helping the regime fevorably.
The two countries (French and US) are in most of the time are at odds but they were friends in Rwanda case. They have been friends in Ethiopian case.
COnfusing statement of the State Dept is a typical and part of American politics. Its a part of their political game.
Believe it or not, the American politics has put the darkest point in Ethiopian History.
Me too brother / sister
Be it the state department, senators, congressmen or white house, they have been doing it all along since election 2005. Well it's a pity that we can't do anything about it, but it is being recorded in the minds of millions of Ethiopians. Sure we look powerless now, but believe me we will be invincible one day. May God be with us! Amen.

Let this nonsense end NOW!
No Ethiopia has put you in this forum asking you to analize every news bits.
EZ,
The Bush administration is an administration that is an embarrassement to western democracies. His popularity rating is 26 almost the same as Richard Nixon.
They are hoding more than 500 people in Gutanamo without any trial, they have secret prisons in various countries (what we call redentions) and may be using torchures hiding from COngress and the american law. They mode of operation is like the fasciste and the soviets. They have no respect of the law of the land. They defy the elected body of the US (Senate and House).
So for these barbaric people is the white house, I do not expect and outrage.
Instead we have to focus of true americans who value ammerican values and are currently trying to hard to force this roigue adminisration for changing policies in Irak and other places.
