Poll question: How many will have to be brought to Justice?
I posted a poll earlier on what our first priority should be once we get Kerry in office, and it seemed a lot believed that an early priority has to be bringing the Bush Administration to justice. So my next question is how many people will need to be put on trial for justice to be served.

This is an inexact question I know; it doesn't really ask the question of who should be put on trial, nor does it ask for what they should be put on trial. Obviously there is some difference between putting the guy who outed Valerie Plame on trial and putting all those who planned the invasion of Iraq on trial.

At any rate I'm just curious.

1. Many, many trials will have to be held
to bring ALL of those - political, media corpoRATe and their allies to justice.

We must make them an example, so that these gross abuses of power will NEVER be repeated!

2. That's a lot of trials.
Shame only one voted though--I would think this would be an issue we'd want to consider.

3. I'm thinkin
We could nail quite a few of them with 3 strikes. Using weapons in the commission of a crime? Extra time there. I'm not keen on supporting them in their old age. Maybe the full Mussolini treatment would be appropriate.

All sorts of aggravating factors in play here. Todays official number is 902 US servicemen dead, maybe 902 trials, 20 years each murder? 18,040 years each sounds about right.

Since many of the crimes are against the Iraqi's/Afghani's perhaps we could just turn them over, save lots of money.
