George Boley arrested

Two weeks ago U.S. Immigration and Customs arrested George Boley, former head of the Liberia Peace Council, on charged of lying in order to enter the U.S.   Further charges of war crimes might be in his future.  (H/T to a commenter for pointing me to this blog post by Jeffrey Goldberg on the story.)  Goldberg writes:

Boley, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Akron, received his undergraduate degree at SUNY Brockport, and he kept his family in upstate New York for the duration of the civil war. I’ve been speaking to him on and off now for a year, and his excuse-making had become increasingly ridiculous. The last time we spoke, he told me that there had been two organizations in Liberia during the civil war named the Liberian Peace Council: His, which was peaceful, and someone else’s, which was a fighting faction.
