- HookmasterCH47, on 09/13/2008, -13/+84Funny how this won't do anything. Now if Bush got a blow job then we'd be able to do something.
- FreddieD, on 09/13/2008, -4/+39I really wish I didn't care about politics, all it does is frustrate me.
- dotuplink, on 09/13/2008, -11/+30I wish this actually did something about the problem...
- Jhiaxuz, on 09/13/2008, -2/+19I'd rather see Bush/Cheney trembling before Dame Rosalyn Higgins at The Hague and serve a sentence worthy of Donitz, Tojo, and Milosevich.
- tehsilentcircus, on 09/13/2008, -0/+16I find it hard to believe that you have the ability to wake up everyday and tell yourself that you just might be a good person.
- rearlgrant, on 09/13/2008, -1/+13Frankly, it's a mean place b/c people like you choose to make it so.
- Jhiaxuz, on 09/13/2008, -6/+18"War crimes are defined in the statute that established the International Criminal Court, which includes:
Grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, such as:
Willful killing, or causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health
Torture or inhumane treatment
Unlawful wanton destruction or appropriation of property
Forcing a prisoner of war to serve in the forces of a hostile power
Depriving a prisoner of war of a fair trial
Unlawful deportation, confinement or transfer
Taking hostages
The following acts as part of an international conflict:
Directing attacks against civilians
Directing attacks against humanitarian workers or UN peacekeepers
Killing a surrendered combatant
Misusing a flag of truce
Settlement of occupied territory
Deportation of inhabitants of occupied territory
Using poison weapons
Using civilians as shields
Using child soldiers
The following acts as part of a non-international conflict:
Murder, cruel or degrading treatment and torture
Directing attacks against civilians, humanitarian workers or UN peacekeepers
Taking hostages
Summary execution
Pillage
Rape, sexual slavery, forced prostitution or forced pregnancy"
I spot two, maybe three infractions based on the Geneva Convention. He is the commander and chief so he should be held responsible for the actions of his troops. - raskali, on 09/13/2008, -8/+20Too many people have made way too much money off Bush and his cronies for him to ever be punished.
- blogosphear, on 09/13/2008, -0/+12hmmm if only we can get ANYONE to show up to court from the bush admin......
- chase001, on 09/13/2008, -8/+20If we could just convince the corpo-media that Bush/Cheney's war crimes were tied to a Missing White Girl it would get 24 hour coverage.
- inactive, on 09/13/2008, -2/+14His mom still wakes him up everyday and tells him that. Hence why he is a complete *****.
- k3rfuffl3, on 09/13/2008, -3/+14The real threat to Americans is stupidity. The stupidity of stupid ***** like you, and that of the terrorists is the same.
- JPHR, on 09/13/2008, -13/+24Criminal proceedings may have the disadvantage that Bush/Cheney will continue to hide behind lawyers and will not be willing to incriminate themselves. Kunich's proposal modeled on the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commissions may be able to bring more to light. Then it will be either full cooperation, disclosure and remorse + public apologies, or criminal proceedings and punishment. The US might be better served with full disclosure to prevent a repetition in the future. Closure for the families of the 4000+ unnecessary US war death may also be better served by remorse and public apology then by punishment of the perpetrators.
- anarcurt, on 09/13/2008, -2/+12I bet you live in a bumble ***** town of 20 where you have no chance of dealing with terrorism. Those are the ones who are always more scared of these bogeymen.
You know whats more scary than a terrorist? Police and National Guardsmen with M4s patrolling places like Penn Station, New York. We are coming under the grip of a police state and that coupled by the continual erosion of our civil liberties will be what ultimately bring our demise. - reconsldr74d, on 09/13/2008, -0/+10And i guess it wasn't breaking both domestic and international law that's the problem with Bush?
- sewollef, on 09/13/2008, -1/+11What a dick. Is that all you can do, spout Republican buzz words without thinking - just like the rest of the idiots?
Iraqi "freedom" has cost the U.S. $553 BILLION, over 1.2 MILLION Iraqi civilians dead, 4,000+ American soldiers dead [to add to the 2,900 dead civilians from the attack on the twin towers], and not forgetting the 25,000+ maimed and brutalised American soldiers that can't get decent medical care because of the Bush tax cuts to the wealthiest 5% of this country. And the alleged organiser of the original crime in New York and DC is still free in Afghanistan. Well done republican government.
It was a murderous diversion. It was a Cheney creation. Read some facts before spouting more idiocy. The entire leadership of the Bush regime should be put on trial for War Crimes; for crimes against the Constitution of the United States; for lying to the American people to fight an illegal war. And most importantly, for going to war without the explicit legal sanction from the only entity in the United States with the authority to declare war - Congress.
They are criminals and deserve to serve time for their high crimes and misdemeanors [ie. Treason]. - mrsteveman1, on 09/13/2008, -0/+9He was the best republican to be put on the ticket.........8 years ago, you know, when Bush was attacking him and ultimately won the nomination.
Now? Not so much, he is pandering to the ***** nutjobs to get elected. Years ago he would have told the religious right to ***** themselves (and i think he did advocate that the republican party take that sort of position, not in those words). Now? He's standing on stage with the worst of them accepting their endorsement, while his hockey mom VP choice spouts off her ***** positions on a number of social and scientific issues, all of which she is 100% wrong on. - paigeinphilly, on 09/13/2008, -6/+15Shame...but so true.
oh how the mighty have fallen...no wonder repubs want to keep education on the back burner..ignorant stupid people re easier to lead...while the rest of us pull our hair screaming at the audacity.
Obama08 - Gutterpunk, on 09/13/2008, -1/+10Only if he send us one for the last 8 years.
- mikelist, on 09/13/2008, -2/+11terrorists are not a serious threat inside the us. i won't digg you down but i won't let your bs statement stand as truth. they are a threat to be sure, but statistically you won't ever be directly exposed to a terrorist attack.
whiny bitches cry at irrational fears before they are hurt, you might want to consider that. - Dominea, on 09/13/2008, -1/+10Well he is technically a "War Criminal" according to the Geneva conventions. But I agree, Impeachment is the correct way to deal with this, followed by prosecuting the administration as traitors. I think the last course of action will be a revolution followed by a new instantiation of government but luckily things haven't gotten bad enough yet to warrant that act. When genocide or massive suppression of free speech starts taking place then the peoples only recourse for action will be to overthrow the government in place and replace it with new government.
- rearlgrant, on 09/13/2008, -2/+11What are your odds of dying in a terrorist incident? What are your odds of dying in a traffic accident?
How much has debt spending for fighting "terrorists" increased? How many cuts to health and safety programs do the Republicans propose in their platform?
Terrorism is a threat that is manageable if one pulls their scared little head out of ground.
If there should be government cutbacks, it's definitely in the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. - mfc5200, on 09/13/2008, -0/+8You know they hate you because of your freedoms right?
- earther, on 09/13/2008, -5/+13Actually, he has committed several war crimes. Try reading the Geneva Conventions someday. There's also this little thing called war profiteering.
BTW, you sound like a bedwetter. Which kills more people every day: malnutrition or terrorists? Cigarettes or terrorists? Aspirin or terrorists? And you're afraid of what again? Sad. - reconsldr74d, on 09/13/2008, -2/+10It's a conference they're not charging anybody they're analyzing how the law could allow them to be charged. If they go from there they go from there.
Also you don't have to have congresses approval to try a murderer, that murderer's political position ought not to matter. - philipl411, on 09/13/2008, -2/+10will all of congress be included, or just the republican members of congress?
- matthewinDRO, on 09/13/2008, -3/+11on the other hand - criminal proceedings carry with them the possibility that the guilty will get locked up.
- reconsldr74d, on 09/13/2008, -4/+11Kudos to them for having the guts to look at a situation that congress has, as a collective group, refused to. All of you out there saying that they shouldn't be doing this need to remember that if you would rather live in a place where nobody keeps the government in check I can recommend some third world dictatorships for you.

Just my 2 cents. He is a criminal. Most his administration by the way.
Anyone saying it is not true? Come up with some facts, I am open for discussion. - xieodeluxed, on 09/13/2008, -4/+11Keep hiding your head in the sand, seems that's what the majority of you are good at nowadays.
- FreddieD, on 09/13/2008, -1/+8I'm talking about everything.... crazy ***** coming from the radically left liberals... crazy ***** coming from the radically right conservatives... politicians answering every serious question with a ***** political answer that never really answers the question.. the idea that I've been worried sick over who is going to win (or not win) this election when I have literally no say in the matter (I'm in Kansas, McCain will win this state 65-35 no matter how I feel).
I want McCain to stop feeding me ***** about how he's going to change Washington and tell me *how* he's going to change.
I want Obama to stop feeding me ***** about Hope and Change and tell me exactly how he plans to change.
No candidate is saying exactly how they plan to solve our mortgage crisis, how they would plan to get out of Iraq, how they would un-***** our national debt or how they are going to strength our american dollar before the mexican peso starts laughing at us. All i'm seeing is smooth-talk from one direction and ***** negative campaigns from the other direction.
I'm so sick of politics as usual (either through McCain's wacko ads or crazy ***** from the third party leftists) that I'm about at the point where aside from an obligatory vote on Nov 4, I won't really care who wins. - olschool82, on 09/13/2008, -1/+8Sad....., but true...
The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either. - Ben Franklin
This was true in the '04 election.... hopefully we will not repeat in '08 - tehsilentcircus, on 09/13/2008, -1/+7Buried for the use of a dumb ass phrase like "diggbots."
- rearlgrant, on 09/13/2008, -1/+7And which party labels its opponents as traitors and seeks to have a one party state with a "Permanent Republican Majority"?
- Gutterpunk, on 09/13/2008, -0/+6That says a lot about the Republicans...

About the Author
Vincent Bugliosi received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the L.A. County District Attorney’s office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his classic, Helter Skelter, the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history. Two of Bugliosi’s other books—And the Sea Will Tell and Outrage—also reached #1 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list. No other American true-crime writer has ever had more than one book that achieved this ranking. - control98408, on 09/13/2008, -0/+5you should get right on that.
- bradhart2, on 09/13/2008, -0/+5The more times people hear the call for trials the more likely they will eventually happen.
- thereisnostate, on 09/14/2008, -0/+5They should call this 'America's War Crimes Conference' since millions of Americans voted for Bush twice.
- inactive, on 09/14/2008, -0/+5Which, undoubtably, won't happen, as the US only accepts international rulings if it suits them.
- choochee, on 09/13/2008, -3/+7Here's a video for people who STILL think Bush didn't lie....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJQX4m5tcgY - inactive, on 09/13/2008, -8/+12Yawn...
So what did your mom make for you for dinner tonight redneck? - bonmot5, on 04/08/2009, -0/+4What is is about pro-Bush people that make them so cognitive dissonant? If it's dumb to be anti-Bush because of things like lying to get the United States into a fictitious "war on terror" with a country that had nothing whatsoever to do with the events of September 11, 2001, the lack of preparation for the occupation, the looting, including the Iraq National Museum, the disbanding of the Iraqi Army, the Bush Cronyism, the blown opportunity to get bin Laden at Tora Bora, civilian (no bid) contractors, Halliburton's tainted food and water, The Military Commissions Act, torture, indefinite detention, the end of habeas corpus, extraordinary rendition flights to facilitate interrogation by torture,
Katrina, FEMA, New Orleans compared to Trent Lott's Mississippi, warrantless NSA wiretapping... really, must I go on??? I can, because there are literally THOUSANDS of other things that could be mentioned. - bullhead2007, on 09/13/2008, -3/+7There's absolutely no logical, rational, or justified reason to defend Bush at this point. You'd have to be one of the most ignorant, naive, or stupid people on this planet to still support the guy. His administration full of corporate criminals needs to be brought to trial.
- tehsilentcircus, on 09/13/2008, -5/+9I find pride in being a Bush hater. As should everyone else. I guess I am missing your point here. Who in their right mind would admit they like Bush? And I clarify, "in their right mind." Please state your answer.
- inactive, on 09/13/2008, -0/+4That they're fools with no power.
- kefs, on 09/13/2008, -0/+3i see how what you say may seem right to some.. but what you're being toldis lies. the iraqi people still want FREEDOM.. from the American Occupation.
read a poll
news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/10_09_07_iraqpoll.pdf
oh and one more thing they're lying to you about. the iraqi civilian death toll. it's huge, larger than you think. a lot of fatherless kids looking avenge their family, their country, their happiness.
2c - reconsldr74d, on 09/13/2008, -2/+5You only spotted two or three? I count, lets see....10 at least from the first two sections
- Gutterpunk, on 09/13/2008, -1/+4@ThinkOutTheBox : Funny how you compare what Bush DID with what Obama allegedly want to do.
Where the ***** were people like you 8 years ago when we needed someone to point out that Bush wanted to screw the country from behind seeing as you read the future and all. -
