OK, I'll say it: ARREST HIM!
Edited on Thu Nov-11-10 07:24 PM by originalpckelly
I mean, if you or I had ordered torture in some criminal scheme, we'd be in jail. Why the fuck shouldn't Bush be in jail?

ARREST HIM NOW!

Don't let this smarmy fucker get away with it.

He just goes out into public and wholly and totally admits doing this.

Who the fuck does he think he is?

1. Yep.
I'd love for some state attorney to accept Vincent Bugliosi's offer to help prosecute Bush.

3. A bi-partisan group of state's attorney general should prosecute him.
The feds obviously have political motivations to not do it.

12. It's not the same picture


One thing that can be said for Obama: he doesn't have 1/10th of the dumb photos that Bush had.

10. Because the D.C. crowd believes they are above the laws
shoved down our throats to the fullest extent! It is a nasty psychological disorder that will eventually get us all killed imo.

11. If Vince Bugliosi couldn't pull it off, forget it.
Justice will very likely be miscarried.

16. Whatever happened to Bugliosi's plan? I spect it was just
a plan to sell a book.

18. I do have hope to turn Bush over
I do have some hope that our country will turn Bush over to the International Court of Justice, and tried as a war criminal.

However, for this to happen, someone from the Bush administration would have to be caught overseas, then that person would have to rat him out, then who knows? We may just see Bush caught in much the same way as Adolf Eichmann back in 1960.

20. Unfortunately we aren't signatory to the ICJ, although Clinton was leading
us in that direction.

Not that a lack of jurisdiction mattered for Nazi war criminals.

Geeesh, how brazen does Bush have to get? Does he have to admit more? What more can he admit? Maybe that he thought it was torture, and did it anyway.

21. It's never going to happen.
Never. Chimp was the most impeachable President ever and they did nothing about his multiple crimes and those of his administration. Nixon looked like a shoplifter next to Bush. This country is done, the experiment over. It's been over for a long time now. We are a fascist corporatocracy, our government is bought and owned. Just look out for yourself because no one else is going to.

23. If torture and renditions haven't stopped yet,
If the places where we torture people haven't been closed yet,
If the school where we train people to torture hasn't been closed yet,
Then what moral authority do you think anyone in our current administration has to charge someone else?

What chance do you think there is that Bush could be charged without ongoing torture becoming an issue and coming out during testimony? It is still believed to be U.S. policy to quietly "systematically torture" people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo and wherever else the CIA operates their prisons. If our government is doing it, a presumption must exist that it is considered legal at some level by some standard, otherwise it would not be allowed to happen. This would present one hell of an affirmative defense for Bush, and there is no way that Bush wouldn't use this it.

No, we won't arrest Bush because we can't. We can't because to arrest Bush we would first have to stop the lawlessness and restore the rule of law. Neither of those two things have happened.

33. Maybe I'm too new......
In the last few weeks that I've been here, I see these posts regularly...and I still don't understand them. This is never going to happen. Bush will never be charged with any wrong doing. It's over, it's done. If FDR was still alive, would people be seeking to prosecute him for his war crimes against Japanese Americans?
