War of aggression=a crime against peace.
It is called the greatest of war crimes because it contains the sum of the whole from which all war crimes derive. Yes, no one has been held accountable for ordering torture and developing a extralegal prison system where torture takes place. No one has really been held accountable for leaking the name of a NOC CIA Agent. Nobody has been held accountable for forging the Niger documents used as an argument for war. Nobody has been held accountable for spying on Americans without a warrant or through FISA courts. And no one has been held accountable for lying a nation into war. The facts are that the Bush Administration had no real intelligence required to make its claims or launch a war. It wasn't a case of faulty intelligence, but a case of producing false intelligence and no one has been held accountable.

I would like to take this time to remind people of the following names: Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri and Saddam's intelligence chief, General Tahir Jalil Habbush. They are important because they were turned (meaning our intelligence agencies and British intelligence had turned them to our side) before the war. Their claims were no WMD's in Iraq. Does anyone ever talk about this fact in the media when mentioning Iraq? Do the politicians? And of course, no one has been held for the letter forgery claiming the Iraq/Al Queda link which was forged with Habbush's name. Sabri was paid $100,000 for the meeting he arranged. Habbush was paid $5 million and is living in a different country (Jordan). Yet so many people think Bush made an honest mistake on intelligence that didn't turn out to be true. Maybe they got this impression from the "media" personalities which were in attendance when Bush made his now famous skit of looking for WMD's over here, WMD's over there, nope not here, comedy routine and were laughing it up? Could be?

Remember, stay angry, and stay determined to push for accountability. People died.
