Absolute Dynamite!!!! Fmr. Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman
On Democracy Now. Right now.

Bush, Gonzales, Ashcroft all liable under 1996 Torture Law. Could face Death Penalty. No statute of limitations. Memo's from Gonzales and Ashcroft show they were concerned about prosecutions under act and opted out of Geneva Conventions for Afghanistan, but, not Iraq!

2. Nice thought, but WHO is going to arrest them and prosecute them?
Our entire government is corrupt. NOONE is going to take that step.

4. Happens all the time in banana republics
Which is what we've become.

Many powerful people, on all sides of the polititical spectrum, are livid about what has been done by this cabal.

6. Wouldn't wait for it
These guys have been doing this crap for decades. All powerful sides of the political spectrum.

John Negroponte just got more power yesterday. We keep bitching about impeachment and war crimes, they keep gaining power. It's a fun game.

8. Yeah, right. But the pendulum swings, inexorably.
A year ago almost everyone scoffed at talk of impeachment.

5. Why would the World Health Oraganization arrest them?
Wouldn't it be the job of the Security Council at the U.N.?
