Do you want to see Rumsfeld pardoned?

[Gregorian]

Neither do I.

Now it's time for all of us to start writing. On this Amnesty International page, you'll find your local paper, and some important things like-

---International law prohibits the issuing of pardons, amnesties and similar measures designed to prevent accountability for abuses such as torture, war crimes and enforced disappearance.



Everybody here should start writing this moment. Let's put pressure on this president before the other shoe drops.

1. Pardoned from what?

Has he been charged with something?

[Gregorian]

9. No. But the point is there may be blank pardons. I used him as an example.

I probably shouldn't have. And thanks for pointing that out. I was shortsighted.

[LakeSamish706]

2. Well I hope he's not charged with anything until Bush is long out of power. n/t

[Booster]

3. No. I want to see him charged with something.

4. Without bail.

[Taverner]

6. Thrown in a ditch covered in petrol...

Well, I can still dream...

[sakabatou]

7. Watch it, Taverner

You don't want to be reported.

[Taverner]

8. True that...

[barbtries]

5. no way

none of them

[burythehatchet]

10. Sure. if the pardon occurs while he is dangling from a noose.

[damntexdem]

11. But why should he get a pardon? Dubya claims that the Bushistas did nothing wrong.

Dubya, just keep thinking that for the next forty-some days!

Better yet, when the new Congress meets on Jan. 5, it should immediately begin a rushed impeachment and trial of both Dubya and Darth Cheney.

[MannyGoldstein]

12. Yes.

Because that'll mean that Bush is down to his last few days in office.

There's nothing we can do to stop Bush from pardoning his entire posse. However, that pardon will only be valid under US law - they can still be arrested under international law. But it won't happen inside of the US - the order would have to come from the top, and I can't fathom Obama going there.

[Gregorian]

14. Stop making sense!

I was being so serious. Now I can't do that.

And I even wrote to my editor. Which was nice.

[Shardik]

13. I'd rather see him taken down by an NFL linebacker.

Or hit by a shoe.

Or in an orange jumpsuit.
