Should Bush and his administraion be tried for war crimes?
Bush lied us into a phoney war under false pretenses and now we must stay the course to honor those wrongfully killed because of his mistakes intentional or otherwise.

DSM hasn't been fully addressed and explained by Bush

Bush gag orders Sibel Edmunds because of what she knows!

Joe Wilson smeared for speaking up about Niger while CIA-Wife is outed

Does Bush fall in the catagory of Treason??!! yes/no/maybe?

2. Yes
Their actions that have been already alleged by members of the press and others rise to indictable offenses under international law, IMO.

8. GWB, you're a Winner! You get a one-way ticket to the Hague! Congrats!
But let's not forget the standard for impeachment that the RW set before the Bush Junta moved into town.
Hypocrisy, more than greed or stupidity, is the hallmark of the GOP and the MSM.

11. Yes, but please, one step at a time.

We all want * to be held accountable. But we have a lot of work to do before we can discuss war crimes. First we've got to get the SOB out of the White House. Then, and only then, should we consider our options.

To get him out of the WH we're going to have to get to work and stay at it. If we do not take the 2006 midterms we are in big, big trouble. I truly worry for the USA if Repugs keep control of Congress in 2007. I truly believe that *anything* is possible for these idiots.

So let's take things one step at a time. We need to focus mostly on 2006 now. Let's not lose sight of the immediate targets.

War crimes is not only not on the page, it isn't even in the current book.

21. Whether they make it to the Hague, definitely IMPEACHED
If this country can't muster an impeachment for these crimes then we can really forget all that flag-waving, freedom-loving BULLSHIT.

PRESIDENT INDICTED

FEDERAL GRAND JURY DIGGING DEEP INTO BUSH CRIMES



By Greg Szymanski

A federal whistleblower close to the Chicago federal grand jury probe into perjury and obstruction charges against President Bush and others said indictments of top officials were handed down this week. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Illinois, however, refused to confirm or deny the source’s account.

“We are not talking about any aspect of this case, and our office is not commenting on anything regarding the investigation at this time,” said Randall Sanborn from the office of U.S. federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, the attorney conducting the grand jury probe into whether Bush and others in his administration violated federal law in a number of sensitive areas, including leaking the name of a CIA operative to the media.

In December 2003, Fitzgerald was named special counsel to investigate the alleged disclosure of Valerie Plame’s name to several mainstream columnists, but the present grand jury probe has expanded to include widereaching allegations of criminal activity as new information has surfaced.

...

However, sources close to the federal grade jury probe also allegedly told Heneghen a host of administration figures under Bush were indicted, including Vice President Richard Cheney, Chief of Staff Andrew Card, Cheney Chief of Staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, imprisoned New York Times reporter Judith Miller and former Cheney advisor Mary Matalin. Heneghen, unavailable for comment, also allegedly told sources White House advisor Karl Rove was indicted for perjury in a major document shredding operation cover-up.
