Crimes Against Humanity & Illegal Torture ...?

Congressman Dennis Kucinich has once again urged the Congress to begin Impeachment against President Bush. He sticks to his beliefs and has some very strong, clear arguements supporting
impeachment. It will not occur, of course, because the Congress has no interest in opening the matter ~ possibly because some of them could possibly be involved, as well. . . or such action might impact their seat in the coming elections.

The International Red Cross, however, has in effect charged our Administration in Washington ~
including the President ~ with illegal Torture, a serious crime that was carefully examined before their decision. So much for our belief to the contrary. It is likely, according to reports, that legal
action will follow.

A final bit that we should watch: Attorneys from several countries have been working with the International Criminal Court in The Hague evidently focusing upon our illegal invasion causing massive deaths and destruction evident in Iraq. Their focus is upon our President and Vice President, along with others involved. Understanding that presidents and high ranking officials tend to ignore such things out of self protection, the Eichmann case has supposedly been talked about as a last resort. You'll remember the Nazi criminal sought by the Israelis among others. They found him, secretly took him to Israel, tried him, and hanged him.

Noam Chomsky posted (July 12, 2008) an article you should read:

The lead is that Bush & Cheney Always Saw Iraq as a Sweetheart Oil Deal ... Lots of proven facts there as well. Among other things he states: " In fact, the whole invasion is a war crime -- indeed the supreme international crime, differing from other war crimes in that it encompasses all the evil that follows, in the terms of the Nuremberg judgement. This is among the topics that can't be discussed, in the presidential campaign or elsewhere. Why are we in Iraq? What do we owe Iraqis for destroying their country? The majority of the American people favor U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. Do their voices matter?

Stay tuned....
