When do the WAR CRIMES TRIALS START?
Here are at least EIGHT DEFENDANTS for you:
"In addition to Bush, suspects in the alleged conspiracy include a who’s who of top officials in Bush’s first term, principally Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, John Ashcroft, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet and their aides, says ABC News."
And where did they come up with this stuff?
Words like "freedom" are ringing quite hollow, aren't they, 'murkns?
Are you PROUD NOW?!

"Report blames officials for abuse of detainees; Says Rumsfeld, others at fault for offenses" by Joby Warrick, Washington Post | December 12, 2008
WASHINGTON - A bipartisan Senate report released yesterday says that former Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other top Bush administration officials are directly responsible for abuses of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and charges that decisions by those officials led to serious offenses against prisoners in Iraq and elsewhere.
The Senate Armed Services Committee report accuses Rumsfeld and his deputies of being the principal architects of the plan to use harsh interrogation techniques on captured fighters and terrorism suspects, rejecting the Bush administration's contention that the policies originated lower down the command chain.
"The abuse of detainees in US custody cannot simply be attributed to the actions of 'a few bad apples' acting on their own," the panel concludes. "The fact is that senior officials in the United States government solicited information on how to use aggressive techniques, redefined the law to create the appearance of their legality, and authorized their use against detainees."
The report, released by Senators Carl Levin, Democrat of Michigan, and Republican John McCain of Arizona, and based on a nearly two-year investigation, said that both the policies and resulting controversies tarnished the reputation of the United States and undermined national security. "Those efforts damaged our ability to collect accurate intelligence that could save lives, strengthened the hand of our enemies, and compromised our moral authority," it said.
And the fact that they were DONE because of a DAMNABLE LIE!!
The panel's investigation focused on the Defense Department's use of controversial interrogation practices, including forced nudity, painful stress positions, sleep deprivation, extreme temperatures, and use of dogs.
It is only "controversial" to MSM whores and fascistas staffing the government!
The rest of us are APPALLED!!!!
The practices, some of which had already been adopted by the CIA at its secret prisons, were adapted for interrogations at Guantanamo Bay and later migrated to US detention camps in Afghanistan and Iraq, including the infamous Abu Ghraib prison.
Translation: U.S. TORTURE is SPANNING the GLOBE!!!!
"The committee's report details the inexcusable link between abusive interrogation techniques used by our enemies who ignored the Geneva Conventions and interrogation policy for detainees in US custody," McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, said in a statement. "These policies are wrong and must never be repeated."
Translation: We's TORTURE!
White House officials have maintained the measures were approved in response to demands from field officers who complained that traditional interrogation methods weren't working on some of the more hardened captives. But Senate investigators, relying on documents and hours of hearing testimony, had a different conclusion.
The true genesis of the decision to use coercive techniques, the report said, was a memo signed by President Bush on Feb. 7, 2002, declaring that the Geneva Conventions' standards for humane treatment did not apply to captured Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters. As early as that spring, the panel said, top administration officials, including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, participated in meetings in which the use of coercive measures was discussed.
Which is what I gave you at the beginning of this post.
So how is the view of your WAR CRIMINAL ADMINISTRATION, Amurka?
You PROUD of George W. Bush, are you?
