A check-in thread for those of US that advocate PROSECUTION of BUSH/CHENEY criminals.

[bobthedrummer]

There must be accountability and application of the rule of law to these criminals. I'm doing a bit of that with guidance and advice from some Congressional staffers and offices that are also seeking the restoration of some justice.

Never give up.

We may be imperfect about The Constitution and Justice, but without trying to live up to those standards there is nothing at all to call a nation.

[tavalon]

137. I , for one, hope that the trials will restore my love of being an American

I thought the election and inauguration would do it. It didn't. I mean, I'm happier being here than I was under the Moron, but I still look to our neighbor just to the North and ache to just go. I had no idea that wouldn't ease up. I looked into it last year, and I can go, but as a sexual minority with similar issues to the gay folks, I could only take part of my family so I wait and hope one of my partners finds a Canuck to love so we can all go. I envy our fellow Duer, Oregone.

19. If we will not do what is necessary, then other countries should step up and do it.

If we can go into other countries and kill/capture whomever, whenever, without permission... Even removing Heads of State, then why can't any other country do the same to us, U.S.?

[JDPriestly]

81. They won't. East Germany's intelligence agency (STASI) committed

horrible crimes, but many of them were simply allowed to walk away.

Three other members of the twenty-one-member ruling Politburo also have been tried. Former Defense Minister Heinz Kessler was convicted of manslaughter in connection with the order to kill people who were trying to escape to the West. He received a seven-and-a-half-year term. Two others, members of the Central Committee and the National Defense Council, were tried with Kessler and sentenced to seven and a half years and five years, respectively. Politburo member Harry Tisch, who was also head of the communist trade union, was found guilty of embezzlement and served eighteen months. Six others, including Egon Krenz (Honecker's successor as party chief), were charged with manslaughter. Krenz was found guilty, and on August 25, 1997, was sentenced to six and a half years in prison.

However, eight years after reunification, many of the 165 members of the Central Committee have not yet been put under investigation. In 1945, Nazis holding comparable or lesser positions were subject to automatic arrest by the Allies. They spent months or even years in camps while their cases were adjudicated. Moreover, the Nürnberg Tribunal branded the Reich and its Corps of Political Leaders, SS, Security Service (SD), Secret State Police (Gestapo), SA (Storm Troopers), and Armed Forces High Command criminal organizations. Similarly sweeping actions against communist leaders and functionaries such as Stasi officers were never contemplated, even though tens of thousands of political trials and human rights abuses have been documented. After the East German regime fell, German judicial authorities scrupulously avoided the appearance of waging witch-hunts or using the law as a weapon of vengeance. Prosecutors and judges made great efforts to be fair, often suspending legal action while requesting rulings from the supreme court on possible constitutional conflicts.

The victims of oppression clamored for revenge and demanded speedy prosecution of the erstwhile tyrants. They had little patience for a judicial system that was handicapped by a lack of unblemished and experienced criminal investigators, prosecutors, and judges. Despite these handicaps, the Berlin Central Police Investigations Group for Government Criminality, mindful that the statute of limitations for most communist crimes would expire at the end of 1999, made significant progress under its director Manfred Kittlaus, the able former director of the West Berlin state police. Kittlaus's major task in 1998 was to investigate wrongful deaths, including 73 murders, 30 attempted murders, 583 cases of manslaughter, 2,938 instances of attempted manslaughter, and 425 other suspicious deaths. Of the 73 murders, 22 were classified as contract murders.

28. Rove

Let us please not forget the uber treasonous Rove. If anyone needs frog marching, it's him. One of the most despicable cretins to ever breath our air. And now ranting that Biden is a "serial exaggerator' and a "liar". This is how they do it, once they have the megaphone or the forum. And they've had it for too long. We need more voices to balance expressing how people really feel. Not just their groups voices. Before it's all over, I pray that Rove sees justice meted out as a beacon to this being a land of laws and not men. We had 8 long, grueling years of "men" and look what we've got in the aftermath!!!

[The Wizard]

102. Rove needs to be

stripped naked with black hood over his head and electrified nipple clamps attached. By their standards, that's legal.

Criminals is the exact word for what they are.

They have shredded what America is all about, namely the Constitution and the rule of law.

In order for our country to recover from the damage they have done we absolutely have to prosecute them, someway or somehow.

Alaska'a CBC = Rep. Don Young could happen any day.

Torture has really been the big change in the last two weeks,
but there seems to be a virtual MSM news blackout on this one.
The judge has ordered release of the information, so expect more news:

CIA Has 3,000 Docs on Torture Tapes
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5303329

The biggest news is the Red Cross report, of course.
That is tantamount to a conviction for torture, and now we also know the torture memos are post facto!

That's right, first they tortured, then they rewrote their rules to conform to what they had done, violated international law.
So, they changed enough rules so they would not have to indict themselves, it now seems!

the Neocon plan is on track to impoverish and totally control the world's people.

The private and for profit Federal Reserve is a key causal, treasonous policy player in this worldwide criminal financial syndicate, and all the bonuses are paid for hush $$$, loyalty and success, certainly not that the large financial institutions, e.g. AIG have 'failed,' as we know.

The book and CD: "The Creature from Jekyll Island" is a clear expose of the so called 'Fed'...no more 'Federal' than Federal Express Co...our "gov't" is it's total quite willing greedy, power hungry Hostage.

Solution is to break up the banks and fully dissolve the ravenous Hydra Fed...immediately....indict, prosecute and imprison OR become enslaved to the Commander-in - Chief/military if one wants to live, feed their family....

[Sparkly]

115. Definitely.

[go west young man]

116. We definitely need to proceed with that one.

We kill two birds with one stone. We shut down the neocon noise machine and take away any so called credibility they have left and we restore the worlds belief in America. If we don't do it we are doomed to have these idiots effect the rest of our agenda and possibly make a return to power taking off further down the drain. They would do anything legally and illegally possible to sink us we should do the right thing and legally sink them. Prosecute. One million dead Iraqi people deserve justice.
