I would agree that many plaintiffs' trial attorneys are attention whores--it's in their nature. (ETA: I see Dawkins is styled as an "atheist campaigner." I've never heard of him before, and the attorney comment was coming from my own perspective.)

The concept of trying the pope strikes me personally as less an avenue of justice and more as using him as a scapegoat for revenge--which isn't too Christian, is it?

I found the WikiP article on "universal jurisdiction" quite interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_jurisdiction
