Bush war crimes confirmed

After years of disclosures by government investigations, media accounts, and reports from human rights organizations, there is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes. The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account.

Maj. General Antonio Taguba

A new report released by Physicians for Human Rights: Broken Laws, Broken Lives, presents irrefutable medical evidence that confirms first-hand accounts of men who endured torture by US personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo Bay. These men were never charged with any crime.

This year’s Oscar winning documentary, Taxi to the Dark Side, also chronicles the Bush Administration’s moral values on torture. The story is about the controversial death of an Afghan taxi driver named Dilawar. Dilawar was beaten to death by American soldiers while being held in detention at the Bagram Air Base.

Impeachment would not be a sufficient for such crimes. A war crimes tribunal is in order.

    Instead of reading a simple-minded guitar picker’s umpteenth take on President George Bush, take on some of this remarkable post’s back-and-forth on the ‘true state of race relations’ in America. Don’t miss the comments.

    A tribunal is a pipe dream and impeachment doesn’t seem likely.

    What’s next?

    What’s next?

    An out-of-country trip just prior to 1/20/2009 that mysteriously doesn’t return to the U.S.?

    That’s where I’m putting my money.
