This was not bugging the headquarters of a political party, or breaking into a doctor's office.

Bush's torture scandal is not Watergate, and we will not let him get away without so much as a fair trial. If this current administration believes that torture can be covered up and forgotten, and the people who authorized it untried, they are sorely mistaken.

This was not a crime against the United States, it was a crime against humanity. It can be tried in any venue of civilized people. Those who conspire to cover up any potential crimes are accessories to those crimes. Even if Bush pardoned himself, that's obviously not the end of this. If Obama pardoned Bush, this still wouldn't be over. The laws in this case are higher than the US Constitution. They are laws of common human decency.

He WILL be investigated.
He WILL be tried.
And any accessories to the alleged crimes WILL have the same.

This bullshit must stop.

a fair law and it's enforcement.

8. It would be nice if you were correct but I don't believe you are.

I don't believe the "Torture pResident" or any of his Cabal will ever be prosecuted for anything. They are backed by just too damn much Power. This will go down in history as just one more HUGE blemish on American integrity and Honor.

9. There is a power much greater....Citizens of the World.

I will donate $500 to ANY organization that will place a Bounty on Bush/Cheney to be paid to anyone who provides evidence or sworn testimony that leads to their indictment or arrest.

A small, transparent trust located in a neutral country like Switzerland could administer the fund. If the BOUNTY is promoted internationally, it would quickly grow to Mega-Millions.

The fund would also be tasked with running full page Wanted For War Crimes ads in major Global newspapers every 3 months until the Bounty is awarded or depleted.

I believe that such a fund would be wildly popular worldwide, and provide the administrators an opportunity to make a little money.
I have neither the resources or skills to institute such a fund, but like I said above, I am willing to donate $500. I also believe that there are at least a million more worldwide (extreme minimum) who would also be willing to donate....that adds up to some serious money.

Wanted
for
WAR CRIMES


A $500 Million Dollar Reward will be paid to any individual, organization, or country that provides evidence or sworn testimony that leads to the arrest, or the issuance of an Internal Arrest Warrant for War Crimes committed by George Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, or Donald Rumsfeld.

It is clear that the Opposition Party (Democratic Party) and the US Justice Department will do NOTHING to hold the criminals accountable.
A private organization representing Citizens of the World would have better results.


Even if Bush/Cheney are never arrested, a Mega-Million Dollar International Bounty would certainly keep them looking over their shoulders, curtail retirement travel plans.

It would also put a nice ribbon around the Bush Legacy, AND serve as a warning to future "Unitary Executives".
