A Guardian news article about Carter's Hay Festival appearance notes that, in his chat with Sands, he "left an intriguing hint that George Bush might even face prosecution on war-crimes charges once he office. When pressed by Philippe Sands...on Bush's recent admission that he had authorized interrogation procedures widely seen as amounting to torture, Carter replied that he was sure Bush would be able to live a peaceful, 'productive life - in our country'" after he leaves the White House. Sands later said that he had "understood that to be 'clear confirmation' that<,> while Bush would face no challenge in his own country, 'what happened outside the country was another matter entirely.'"

3. Hasn't France and Germany shown interest in all these war crimes
being committed by bushco. Maybe its I'm reading between the lines and seeing something thats not there but for some reason I think they both will pursue this matter once it is shown that we won't or can't do it ourselves.
