FBI files indict Bush, Cheney and Co. as war criminals

afterdowningstreet.org — By Bill Van Auken, WSWS The most stunning revelation in a 370-page Justice US Department Inspector General's report released this week was that agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation had formally opened a War Crimes file, documenting torture they had witnessed at the Guantnamo Bay US prison camp, before being ordered by th

    • Flamancot, on 05/29/2008, -8/+9Hah! Thing about *these* criminals is no matter what happens "they will do it over and over."

      The word criminal is functionally misleading anyway, criminals are minorities who rob liqour stores. Besides being white, bush et al have robbed... everybody. And they shot, killed, maimed, tortured, lied and manipulated millions of people to do it.

      But this is America. And they've already made enough money to avoid ever being "criminals" in the eyes of the court/law. Victory --> Bush.

      *****.
      • neurobox, on 05/29/2008, -1/+3Ya know... If an ordinary citizen can be thrown in jail for telling a lie in a simple court case, how much more should a man with this much power be punished for not only misleading the country and fellow politicians from the white house pulpit, but um.. by the way almost single-handedly costing hundreds of thousands of people their lives? There should be a lightweight (as in quick moving) legal framework in place to prevent this garbage. This 4 years stuff should not be a guarantee by any means.

    • dafragsta, on 05/29/2008, -9/+20You guys are all naive. Bush has MONTHS left in office. There is no point in pursuing legal action now. In fact, the chances of him spending time in prison are MUCH greater after that. Think about it... if you don't nail Bush and Cheney at the same time, one pardons the other. If they are both out of office, powerless, and clearly in the crosshairs of the legal system, they will get the book thrown at them.

      The McClellan book is not even new information from the absolutely most reliable source, either, even if it is substantial. See Richard Clarke's many testimonials against BushCo. No one was better equipped to outline the failures to prevent the terrorist attacks or the preemptive decision to invade Iraq. This guy is bona fide. He served as the terrorism czar under every president since Reagan.

      My faith in my country will be restored if Bush and the gang spend even one year in prison. I'd like more than that, but I understand how politics works all too well.
      • InetRoadkill, on 05/29/2008, -7/+19[quote]You guys are all naive. Bush has MONTHS left in office. There is no point in pursuing legal action now.[/quote]

        Sorry, but no. I wouldn't care if Bush had 2 hours left in office. If he is a criminal, he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law without exception. Surviving your term without getting impeached should in no way be an all-encompassing 'get out of jail free card'. Equal justice under law is supposed to be one of the pillars of the American justice system. No one, including Bush, is above the law. His open mockery and contempt for the judicial process combined with his abuse of power makes it even more imperative that he be brought to justice. He should not be allowed to set this kind of precedence.
        • dafragsta, on 05/29/2008, -2/+10Did you even ***** read the rest of my comment? Of course he should be prosecuted, but you realize they will not be able to nail him and Cheney simultaneously right? You know about presidential pardons right? Like the one Scooter Libby got?
        • bsl4doc, on 05/29/2008, -4/+2You do know that Libby was not pardoned, and that he only had his sentence commuted, so he still has perjury on his criminal record, right? Right?

          Yeah, that's what I thought...you make the rest of us liberals look very bad and stupid.
        • stizz, on 05/29/2008, -0/+10Libby has not been pardoned yet. YET.

          Bush will wait till zero hour just like every president does.

          Libby will be pardoned during Bush's last hours in office.
        • dafragsta, on 05/29/2008, -0/+6Libby WAS dealt time, and as the previous poster said, he'll be pardoned in the midnight hour. Bush did commute his sentence to parole. That is not justice. What you want is what I want, but I actually want them to spend time in the penal system. I don't want this to be a white collar political slap on the wrist. It would be nice to see a treason charge, but that's highly optimistic.

        It's not the place of congress to probe into the personal life of any politician. Sure, perjury is a crime, but ALL CRIMES should be taken in context. Is it really fair to kick a man off his post for getting a goddamn blowjob and lying about it? That is extremely private. Does that extend to Larry Craig? Sure, if it's all consentual, but I still think that one is funny because no one forced him out. It was his own hypocrisy that crucified him in the eyes of his constituency and his political affiliation with the so-called social conservatives.

      It's honestly frightening to see how ignorant some people are.

      "Guantanimo what?"

      This freaked me out: I was talking to some lady, telling her about the process of rendition, and she said she SUPPORTS it (after not knowing what it was and I told her)....wtf? She goes "Yea, throw they asses in jail and torture those mo'***** hah" I wanted to slap her. I told her how many are proven to be innocent and she said that's a price she's willing to pay. Ridiculous.

  • turbodan1, on 05/29/2008, -19/+7This is absurd. If this were true, the mainstream news (that is generally to the left) except Fox (which is to the right) would be all over this story. When it takes some small-time, socialist, anti-American source to break a story that claims our President and VP could be INDICTED by DOCUMENTED FBI FILES as WAR CRIMINALS, it can't be true. Where's the proof? Can a source besides this untrustworthy site back it up? There's no reason to assume this is true until a credible source backs it up.

Anyways, the USA is huge, and a terrorist attack can take out, at most, a few thousand people. If a country allows nuclear weapons to get to a terrorist and that person bombs the USA, our allies would join with us to kick their ass, whether we want them to or not. Oh wait... George W Bush hurt our relationship with our allies, so that's less likely. Still, that country will be a crater.

  • shadowofapuddle, on 05/29/2008, -2/+29Not exactly accurate according to what I heard on CBC Radio, where they interviewed the author of the file.

    When they say in this report that they had formally opened a "War Crimes" folder, it was more like an ordinary file folder that had the name "War Crimes" handwritten on it, and was used to file complaints about actions of troops and others. The FBI agents who were in Afghanistan and Iraq who witnessed suspect activity and filed reports about it would have their report put in this folder.

    The higher-ups found out about the folder being labeled "War Crimes" and had it renamed to something less alarmist, and ordered the FBI to stop investigating any further Geneva violations saying that it wasn't their jurisdiction.

    This doesn't mean war crimes were not committed, because it appears that they were. As far as the files indicting "Bush, Cheney and Co. as war criminals", I think we're getting carried away here.
    • roystgnr, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4The Federal Bureau of Investigation doesn't have jurisdiction to investigate federal crimes committed by the federal government's military and intelligence forces in violation of a federally-ratified treaty?

      • buckrogers1965, on 05/30/2008, -0/+3It's amazing to me that they have jurisdiction over the whole world, even kidnapping people in other countries, or invading that other country to kidnap their leaders so they can be brought back to stand trial in an American court, yet we don't have the jurisdiction to make federal government agents on federal government business stand trial for the crimes that they commit.

    • utahnkid, on 05/29/2008, -2/+2"A majority of FBI employees who served at GTMO reported in
      response to our survey that they never saw or heard about any of the
      specific aggressive interrogation techniques listed in our survey.
      However, over 200 FBI agents said they had observed or heard about
      military interrogators using a variety of harsh interrogation techniques
      on detainees. These techniques generally were not comparable to the
      most egregious abuses that were observed at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
      Moreover, it appears that some but not all of these harsh interrogation
      techniques were authorized under military policies in effect at GTMO.
      The most commonly reported technique used by non-FBI
      interrogators on detainees at GTMO was sleep deprivation or disruption.
      Over 70 FBI employees had information regarding this technique. "Sleep
      adjustment "was explicitly approved for use by the military at GTMO
      under the policy approved by the Secretary of Defense on April 16, 2003.
      Numerous FBI agents told the OIG that they witnessed the military's use
      of a regimen known as the "frequent flyer program" to disrupt detainees'
      sleep in an effort to lessen their resistance to questioning and to
      undermine cell block relationships among detainees. Only a few FBI
      agents participated in this program by requesting military officials to
      subject particular detainees to frequent cell relocations."

I believe that if Bush had chosen different people to be part of his government, a lot of the things that have gone on would never have happened. I dislike the Administration as much as the next guy, but I cannot blame Bush for all of this.
    • headzoo, on 05/29/2008, -1/+6I suspect they were chosen for him. It was part "we'll guarantee you the presidency" package.
    • beingdevious, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4i partially agree with that, but ignorance does not equal innocence.
    • pkonink, on 05/29/2008, -1/+4As the years have worn on, I find myself agreeing with you more and more. While I don't think it absolves him from any blame I tend to see Bush as Cheney/Rove/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz's patsy. They feed him all kinds of ideas and push him in certain directions and he follows right along. His churlish pig-headedness (and I personally believe advancing mental disease such as alzheimers) has enabled these dangerously extremist neo-cons to take control of the nation and drive it into the ground.
  • carabou, on 05/29/2008, -24/+5The World Socialist Web Site + Diggers who blame bush for everything = another huffington post submit soon!
    • nblsavage, on 05/29/2008, -0/+10Did you happen to miss several postings of the PDF from the DOJ site itself? Nah, someone as smart and observant as you would never miss that.
    • Infidelcastr0, on 05/29/2008, -1/+7GET A ***** GRIP.
      Under the Bush administration, PEOPLE ARE TORTURED.
      We operate a network of secret prisons around the world where we take "suspected terrorists", hog tie them in stress positions, pour water down their throats, threaten to kill their families, sexually abuse them, put them in isolation for 30+ hours, starve them, deprive them of sleep, and beat them. It is happening right NOW.
      The fourth amendment has been gutted.
      Due process is GONE.
      All of your E-Mails and phone conversations are recorded.
      There is a "Terrorist watch list" with over 9000000 names on it, including U.S. Senators, singers and writers.
      The economy is in ruins and getting worse.
      We are at war with a country that did nothing to us and DID NOT harbor terrorists and we're preparing for another one.
      The administration has been bringing ***** prosecutions against Democratic officials in swing states and FIRES U.S. attorneys who don't cooperate.
      Bush is helping McCain violate election funding laws.
      And if that's not enough for you have a look at some of Bush's executive orders.
      If you think Bush is a good president you are ***** DELUSIONAL.
      But I guess I'm an stuck up liberal elitist for pointing out facts or being upset about these things.
      • buckrogers1965, on 05/30/2008, -1/+1Don't you know, reality has a liberal bias.
        • InnerRayg, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1That quote is starting to be over used.
  • cristianl, on 05/29/2008, -1/+3One wishful thought I'd like to see becoming true.
  • Anachronus, on 05/29/2008, -12/+2Yellow journalism lives!
  • str3ama, on 05/29/2008, -3/+2Well it'd be nice if they followed through - once Bush leaves the office, I'd like to see him, his father, and his entire the Bush administration tried for war crimes and acts of attrition. Alas that won't be happening, the War Tribunal in the Haig is reserved only for non Western/European rules.

  • Hetman, on 05/29/2008, -10/+3Damnit I stopped reading after the world socialist web site. They should rename that to the party that will waste your money and brankrupt your country web site.
    • ssn697, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4Reading the Department of Justice file too liberal for you as well?

      http://www.usdoj.gov/oig/special/s0805/final.pdf
    • Hetman, on 05/29/2008, -1/+1No that is a legitamate source. But if you expect me to believe what the world socialist website is saying you are out of your mind. Them prisonplanet.com. rawstory, huffington post, fox new, CNN are not going to do it for me. They are all propoganda.
      • nblsavage, on 05/29/2008, -1/+2Let me guess, you only consider littlegreenfootballs and michellemalkin.com legit?
      • Hetman, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1If I have to wade through all the BS that is on The above mentioned websites to get a true article I will just watch or listen to the BBC.
    • ZenMojo, on 05/29/2008, -1/+2Republicans are not Socialists. Funny, but the entire political party has lost any permission to talk about waste and bankruptcy since no Democratic president in the last 100 years has ever caused a recession or a depression.

      Let's see, Buchanan, Hoover, Nixon, Bush I, Bush II...nope, no Democrats. It's like a Bedouin complaining about how painful Emperor Scorpion bites are while he scratches his ass with an asp.
    • Hetman, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2I am not a republican or a democrat so those titles do not mean anything to me.
  • acormon, on 05/29/2008, -10/+8The article itself is pretty depressing, but i couldn't help but burst out laughing at this (page 158 in the document):

    "A female military interrogator was rumored to have put female clothes on a detainee and performed a lap dance on him"


    Good ol' USA!
  • normalkid0615, on 05/29/2008, -9/+2quote from text...

    A majority of FBI employees who served at GTMO reported in
    response to our survey that they never saw or heard about any of the
    specific aggressive interrogation techniques listed in our survey.
    However, over 200 FBI agents said they had observed or heard about
    military interrogators using a variety of harsh interrogation techniques
    on detainees.

    see, nothing is going to happen. no evidence. READ BEFORE U COMMENT!!!

    vote for obama
  • yojiffyskippy, on 05/29/2008, -11/+2Labeling a file "war crimes file” does not make everything in the file a war crime. Nothing new here, move along people.

  • junkwheel, on 05/29/2008, -5/+5Everybody in politics (and many out) knows they are war criminals.

    Hopefully that will help.
  • xenoblue, on 05/29/2008, -10/+4if he had actually committed any crimes, don't you think the DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED CONGRESS would have impeached him years ago?
    • dig1x, on 05/29/2008, -2/+3The GOP has been obstructing any and all activity by the Congress in order to construct a false "do nothing congress" talking point for 2008.

      http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/1293 ...

      "The Republican minority has created a de facto 60-vote minimum to do anything of substance in the Senate. They'll allow routine up-or-down votes on renaming post offices, or those rare bills that enjoy near-unanimous support, but otherwise, it's filibuster time on the Senate floor. And while the number of filibusters has been going up pretty consistently for 20 years, these Republicans appear to be in a league of their own."

      http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individu ...

      "Republicans aren’t just obstructing legislation at normal rates. They’re obstructing legislation at three times the usual rate. They’re absolutely desperate to keep this stuff off the president’s desk"

      Here it is in a PRETTY PICTURE for you:
      http://media.mcclatchydc.com/smedia/2007/07/20/16/ ...


      The DEMOCRATS dont "control" Congress *****. They CANNOT stop the GOP FILLIBUSTERING in the SENATE.

      Now take your GOP talking-point and shove it.
      • theelectricafro, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1Easy there tiger. Pelosi said impeachment was off the table. Both parties work closer together than people think. Take you left/right paradigm and shove it.
  • IJstickI, on 05/29/2008, -12/+2quit all your complaining and just leave the country please

    So! When do the trials commence?
    • dig1x, on 05/29/2008, -2/+1As soon as they leave office I imagine.
    • cryptomystic, on 05/29/2008, -2/+1Never, because all the judges have already been bought and paid for.

  • duder83, on 05/29/2008, -7/+2i have gas
  • Twenty, on 05/29/2008, -4/+16The next president is going to have a hell of a time dismantling what a monster of government the Bush administration has created here. No, it was not entirely Bush's fault, but the fault of many presidents over the course of the 20th century subscribing to big, ineffective, bureaucratic government. Most presidents, when they are elected, spend the first year or two adapting the executive branch to their agenda. How long will it take to dismantle years and years of this sort of ***** -- early fascism?
    We need to defeat it at the root. Impeach Bush, Cheney, all of them.
    Still, how much scrubbing will it take to rid the US Government of the stench of ineffective, bloated partisan politics?
    • BigFuzzyArchon, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2 the next president isn't going to do ***** and nothing is going to change
      • Twenty, on 05/30/2008, -2/+1I used to think that too, until Obama came along. But now the faults to not lie with an incompetent president, but rather, a system that is far past broken.
      • Arkons24, on 05/31/2008, -1/+1If you think Obama is going to change anything you're a fool.
    • buckrogers1965, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1The scary part is how seductive taking up these reigns of power are. After all, when you become president and you have all that power and you want to do good things, it becomes tough not to use every bit of power you have to do good things.

      "In place of a Dark Lord, you would have a queen... not dark but beautiful, and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea! All shall love me and despair." - Galadriel
    • Arkons24, on 05/30/2008, -1/+2I dugg you up for the first part. Impeaching dick and bush would be retarded though. Our government will unlikely ever be clean of them. We need to put the power back in the states hand, get rid of electoral colleges and start to make government effective on the local level. More districts, more representation. A larger senate and house will both be able to weed out corruption. With that many people running, Washington Outsiders will no longer be able to be shunned by the establishment.
    • soulkitchen, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1How much scrubbing? Less than you think once we wake up. The French Monarchy never thought a revolution could happen until it did. The American people can only be pushed so far.
      • smebbin, on 05/31/2008, -0/+0It will happen... Hitler is very proud of Bush, he learned well from Hitler's history books. Call me extreme, but if Bush were to have one more term... we would be reliving history.
    • smebbin, on 05/31/2008, -0/+0Look at the national debt created during the 1st Bush administration and the 2nd Bush Administration... a huge spike. These are not republicans nor public servants, they are destroyers are freedom, america, capitalism, and sovereignty.

  • Revolutionista, on 05/29/2008, -2/+4It took the FBI to figure this out?
