For Bush, why do people push impeachment over a treason trial?

[Lori Price CLG]

It is obvious that Dictator Bush is a candidate for a treason trial (9/11 complicity, Downing St. 'memos,' etc.).

Moreover, Bush was not an 'elected official.'

3. I think after impeachment

comes the treason/war crimes trial.

4. And you would be right.

Impeachment is like indictment for a mere mortal.

5. Bush will launch a bioterror attack, long before that stage,

unfortunately...

6. Make it impossible for him to do any more harm (impeachment

is not removal from office you know), or at least make it harder. Then when the rotten bastid is out of office, hand him over to the Hague.

7. Save the country then pursue prosecution

Get the regime out of power then go after them legally

8. I could be wrong but

I believe that first the president has to be impeached and convicted and thereby removed from office and then, as a mere citizen, he can be charged with a variety of crimes, such as treason. Until he is removed from office there are constitutional issues that make his legal status with respect to criminal prosecution 'difficult'.

9. Impeach him, convict him of treason along with his handlers

before he starts WWIII
