Four Indictments and a Funeral

The investigation into Rafik Hariri's assassination has borne fruit: four generals have been charged, reports the BBC. This is cause for celebration, because it shows a willingness to hold the powerful to account under law, and it's not a cop-out (which it would have been if they were charging four corporals). Justice and the rule of law are the true cornerstones of democracy, and InstantReplay applauds every step in that direction.
