Citizens find Bush guilty of Afghan war crimes
A citizens' tribunal in Tokyo found U.S. President George W. Bush guilty of war crimes for attacking civilians with indiscriminate weapons and other arms during the U.S.-led antiterrorism operations in Afghanistan in 2001.

The tribunal also issued recommendations for bang depleted uranium shells and other weapons that could indiscriminately harm people, compensating the victims in Afghanistan and reforming the United Nations in light of its failure to stop the U.S.-led operation there.

The tribunal participants spent two years examining Bush's role as the top commander in the war, making eight field trips to Afghanistan and holding nearly 20 public hearings, reports The Japan Times.

The history of citizens' tribunals dates back to the 1960s, when the British philosopher Bertrand Russell and others tried to examine the acts of the U.S. government during the Vietnam War.

1. ((Yawn)) I won't hold my breath waiting for Junior to be put behind bars.
We all know he's guilty. But, he has an uncanny way of gettin' away with these things.

5. Indictements would be justice.
Justice will not be served. Bushco has a long list of possible crimes that they could be charged with but the Oligarchy of Amerika will not allow them to be charged.
