Will we see the emergence of another round of "Nazi-hunters?"

[KansDem]

By this I mean a dedicated group of investigators who will be willing to spend decades tracking down the Bushistas that are active today.

For example, yesterday Jack Abramoff's lawyer said his client was flat broke. His only assets was his home and personal possessions. Anyone believe this? So when Jack, who is still free in spite of receiving a nearly six-year sentence by agreeing to cooperate with the continuing investigation, finally goes to prison (if ever) and receives his pardon from George the Torturer, will someone or some group dog him in order to discover where he has stashed his ill-gotten loot and bring him to justice by making him pay restitution to his victims (with the wealth his lawyer said he didn't have)?

The same goes for the Lays and DeLays of the world.

And we shouldn't rule out the kingpin himself, King George. It is evident now that he committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. Will someone or some group take on the awesome responsibility of bringing him to justice some day (ala Eichmann and Pinochet)?

These thugs and cutthroats cannot get away with this! No more Lee Hamiltons! If you let them go free, they'll only be back to do it again. They've proven this.

These bastards need to be brought to justice and punished so this doesn't happen again.

1. Haven't a number of groups been chasing Kissinger all these years?

Chasing him through the courts of various countries, that is?

Involvement in Operation Condor
Main article: Operation Condor
On May 31, 2001, French judge Roger Le Loire requested a summons served on Kissinger while he was staying at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. Loire claimed to want to question Kissinger for alleged US involvement in Operation Condor as well as the death of French nationals under the Chilean junta. As a result, Kissinger left Paris that evening, and Loire's inquiries were directed to the US State Department.

In July 2001, the Chilean high court granted investigating judge Juan Guzman the right to question Kissinger about the 1973 killing of American journalist Charles Horman, whose execution at the hands of the Chilean military following the coup was dramatized in the 1982 Costa-Gavras film, Missing. The judge’s questions were relayed to Kissinger via diplomatic routes but went unanswered.

In August 2001, Argentine Judge Rodolfo Canicoba sent a letter rogatory to the US State Department, in accordance with the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), requesting a deposition by Kissinger to aid the judge's investigation of Operation Condor. <7>

On September 10, 2001, a civil suit was filed in a Washington, DC, federal court by the family of Gen. René Schneider, former Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Army, asserting that Kissinger gave the order for the elimination of Schneider because he refused to endorse plans for a military coup. Schneider was killed by coup-plotters loyal to General Roberto Viaux in a botched kidnapping attempt, but US involvement with the plot is disputed, as declassified transcripts show that Nixon and Kissinger had ordered the coup "turned off" a week prior to the killing, fearing that Viaux had no chance. As a part of the suit, Schneider’s two sons are attempting to sue Kissinger and then-CIA director Richard Helms for $3 million.

On September 11, 2001, the 28th anniversary of the Pinochet coup, Chilean human rights lawyers filed a criminal case against Kissinger along with Augusto Pinochet, former Bolivian general and president Hugo Banzer, former Argentine general and dictator Jorge Rafael Videla, and former Paraguayan president Alfredo Stroessner for alleged involvement in Operation Condor. The case was brought on behalf of some fifteen victims of Operation Condor, ten of whom were Chilean.

In late 2001, the Brazilian government canceled an invitation for Kissinger to speak in São Paulo because it could no longer guarantee his immunity from judicial action.

Kenneth Maxwell's review, in Foreign Affairs November/December 2003, of Peter Kornbluh's book The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability, discussed Kissinger's relationship with Augusto Pinochet's regime, in particular concerning operation Condor and Orlando Letelier's assassination, in Washington, DC, in 1976.

From Wikipedia

They got Pinochet, maybe it's just a matter of time and place with Kissinger.

2. I'll be signing up as soon as it's organized.

They will get their due process. If it takes the rest of my life, I will hound these criminals to their graves.

4. If the 3rd Columnists had been safely isolated during WWII, Bush

would be managing a self-storage unit in Waco. If, indeed, anyone would hire him to do that.

The Dulles Bros. would never have brought their brand of poison to U.S. foreign policy. Nixon would have retired to obscurity after he was disbarred by the New York State bar. Reagan would have gone on to star in a soap opera. The Cold War would have ended in 1953 instead of 1990. Trillions of dollars of defense spending could have been plowed into education, housing, health care. Both extreme wealth and poverty would be a thing of the past in America. Middle-Class America would have more time and energy to be more politically active on every level. The People would own their own places of work and their own Government.

Yes, it was an opportunity delayed, but it's not too late to start now.
