My letter to the editor about the war crime enabling law.

[alfredo]

Why did Bush push so hard for immunity from the 1996 War Crimes Act?

More importantly for our state, why did Senator Mitch McConnell introduce such a law? It seems to me that a person that enables criminal activities or gives aid and comfort to war criminals is just as guilty as the one committing the crimes. Even if he isn't liable under international law, he has brought shame upon our great state by becoming a stooge for a man who has openly admitted to wanting to be "the dictator."

America has survived much greater threats without having to resort to dictatorial rule. Why are we so willing to surrender all power to an authoritarian ruler? Have we become a nation of cowards?



end of letter


I have consulted an expert on international law to see if our congressmen who voted for immunity are now liable.
