BREAKING: CCR and ECCRHR To File Torture Case Against George W. Bush

[kpete]

Source: Daily Kos

Well you see the CCR and its allies in Europe had been preparing a bit of a surprise for the 43 President of the United States and unindicted torturer. They had been working for months to bring two complaints against George W. Bush under the International Conventions Against Torture. One in the name of Al Jazeera reporter Sami el-Hajj and a current CIA detainee Majid Khan, who is to this day held at Guantanamo Bay without charge.

CCR and the European Center of Constitutional and Human Rights have put together a 2.500 page case against the criminal President Bush and had intended to file it Monday when Bush was in Geneva. They had been keeping the a pretty tight lid on this, talking to reporters under a news embargo and preparing a press conference. Some how it seems that it has leaked and lo and behold, W suddenly can’t attend and the event is being canceled.

Of course this swill be spun by the organizers and the handlers for the former President, but I agree with Jen Nessel of the CCR when she says:

Whatever Bush or his hosts say, we have no doubt he cancelled his trip to avoid our case.

"Who could ever have imagined that we Republicons would FAIL America so miserably on 9/11 by totally freaking ignoring the OVER SIXTY warnings that came in, and then use our failure as an excuse to lie, to attack an innocent but oil-rich country, and then to TORTURE the bejabbers out of just about anyone we didn't like?"

7. Torture is so evil, so unAmerican, so unChristian

I will always remember that Republicons claiming to be 'christians' did this and dragged America down into the gutter, despoiling our national honor.

[lonestarnot]

9. uncouth, uncivilized, uninpukeable.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

49. UnChristian?

Ever hear of The Inquisition?

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!!!

10. CCR?

Gredence Clearwater Revival??

[Sanity Claws]

16. Center for Constitutional Rights

is my guess.
They are affiliated with NYU Law School.

[daggahead]

4. I just hope President Obama doesn't try, somehow, to block this. n/t

[SharksBreath]

48. Obama and Holder have already done their part. They are looking forward.

11. Some posts really should allowed multiple recs.

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!! Dumbya's world just got a whole lot smaller. May the same go for all his fellow conspirators.

[spanone]

12. ...our moral authority is non-existent

[BanzaiBonnie]

13. "the Criminal President Bush"

What a sweet and sad ring that has to it. Sweet, that he may someday be held accountable for his war crimes. Sad, that he was ever our president and in a position to commit those crimes against humanity.

[glinda]

14. They need more names on that list and I dare say Obama will be put on it also. He

ought to take serious notice.

[intheflow]

36. He was never my president.

That would have been Gore and probably also Kerry. Dumbya was my pResident, nothing more.

22. Wonder if he'll hide in a hole, like Saddam Hussein did?

Pics of them dragging him out would be sweeeeeeet!

[Buddha2B]

23. Finally!

I still remember a debate I had on Christianforums about 2 years ago with some RW American.

Basically when it boiled down to it, his argument was: What are you going to do? You can't do anything! We (Americans) don't recognize any authority higher than ourselves.

[JDPriestly]

24. There are, no doubt Bush or neocon moles in the CCR.

Talking to news reporters under an embargo is stupid.

[AzDar]

25. ...

:thumbsup:

[PoliticAverse]

26. "They had been keeping the a pretty tight lid on this, talking to reporters under a news embargo"

If you are talking to reporters, even under an "embargo" you aren't "keeping a pretty tight lid on".

30. Europe just got a lot luckier. W will never cross their borders now.

If only he could be confined to Texas permanently. Sorry Texans. I feel your pain. I'm represented by Mitch McConnell and Ron Paul.

31. Creedence Clearwater Revival Are Going After Bush?!?

33. k&r

[Jefferson23]

34. I'd give a lot to be a fly on the wall when Bush was consulting with his attorneys

about this decision not to attend. It is amazing to me how his protection from prosecution here is wrapped
up so completely that he feels confident to make statements about authorizing torture in print.

Perhaps he will need to be content to live on a shorter leash, kudos to CCR and ECCRHR.

35. K&R

[Oak2004]

37. So his life out of office will resemble that of Pinochet

Always looking over his shoulder, perhaps someday even on the run.

Hmmm :think:

I like this :)

38. Time to send CCR some more money!

39. Prosecute Bush et al....n/t

40. KNR! n/t

[The Wizard]

41. The Bush cartel

Fugitives from justice with good cause. Good thing impeachment was off the table. Failing to talk about your sex life is an impeachable offense and war crimes isn't. We have the moral authority of Pol Pot.

[malaise]

42. ComcastM$NBC said

they were worried about the protests. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah war criminals must be afraid to travel for the rest of their sorry lives.

[democrank]

44. War criminals.

Plain and simple.They should be on trial.

[Hubert Flottz]

45. AWOL again...

Finally W is WANTED!

[stockholmer]

46. Bush is always welcome to visit Stockholm, and we have very humane prison system :D

he will get as fair a trial here as any place on earth

[tanyev]

47. Too bad word got out.

Even if they didn't get him, it would have been fun to hear stories about him fleeing out of the country.

[obxhead]

50. The world will stand up against it's oppressors eventually.

Our "policing" of the world will have to be answered for some day.
