Join the Call For A Special Prosecutor To Bring Former High American Officials To Justice For Acts Of Torture, And War Crimes


Join the Call For A Special Prosecutor To  Bring Former High American Officials  To Justice For Acts  Of Torture, Constitutional Violations And War Crimes.

 

 

"The action I am taking is no more than a radical measure to hasten the explosion of truth and justice. I have but one passion: to enlighten those who have been kept in the dark, in the name of humanity which has suffered so much and is entitled to happiness. My fiery protest is simply the cry of my very soul. Let them dare, then,
to bring me before a court of law and let the enquiry take place in
broad daylight!"


- Emile Zola, J'accuse! (1898) –

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude
than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask
not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed
you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget
that ye were our countrymen!”

-Sam Adams-

 

THERE IS SERIOUS WORK TO BE DONE, SERIOUS ACTION TO BE TAKEN; They Are Still At Large!

A New Campaign: Indict Bush Now! 
Hold Bush and His Joint Co-Conspirators Criminally Accountable! 

Tell A Friend

You can join the movement to indict Bush Administration officials who committed war crimes, "legalized" torture, and engaged in massive illegal spying and wiretapping against the American people. Click this link if you support the indictment of George W. Bush and other high officials. 

The rule of law, justice, and basic integrity require the indictment for criminal wrongdoing of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, and other high officials of the former Bush Administration. 

The media establishment is surprised by the ground swell of support from the grassroots for the pursuit of individuals who committed grievous crimes during the Bush era. 

We are not surprised that the people are demanding accountability for those who committed wars of aggression, torture, and subverted the Constitution and thus violated not only their oaths of office but domestic and international law. 

Please make an urgently needed donation today to help make the Indict Bush movement grow, by clicking this link. 

These crimes are not abstract nor can they be ignored as belonging to a distant past. Millions of people have suffered and continue to suffer because of the criminal invasion of Iraq. 

The vital resources of the country have been drained in a criminal enterprise benefiting war profiteers. The people know of and are outraged by the billions of dollars in profit made by Dick Cheney's Halliburton and that is only the tip of the iceberg. 

The pressure is building. President Obama said at his press conference this week, "My view is also that nobody's above the law, and if there are clear instances of wrongdoing, that people should be prosecuted just like any ordinary citizen," when asked about the pursuit of  Bush Administration officials for criminal wrongdoing. 

In a new poll, an astounding 2/3 of the American public favors investigating whether the Bush Administration broke the law. "A majority of respondents said a probe should be launched into allegations that the Bush team used torture...[and] investigators also should look into the former President's program of wiretapping U.S. citizens without first securing court-issued warrants." (AFP 2/12/09) 

Help the Indict Bush movement by making a donation -- click this link. 

The Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers, and the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Patrick Leahy, are both proposing to launch investigations into the possibilities of criminal conduct by high officials in the Bush Administration. 

Six years ago, Ramsey Clark launched the movement to Impeach Bush. You and more than a million other people came forward to demand the impeachment of Bush and other high ranking officials at VoteToImpeach and ImpeachBush. It was this movement with its principled and primary demand for accountability that changed the political climate in the United States. It broke open the media blockade with newspapers ads calling for impeachment. Community organizing, person to person outreach, and demonstrations shifted the debate and helped turn the tide against the impunity of Bush's crimes. He has been forced to leave office in disgrace. 

A Criminal Indictment is Necessary 

Now we are taking the next step in the pursuit of protecting and saving the Constitution. Justice will have no meaning without the prosecution of Bush, Cheney and others for their criminal acts. It would also have a resounding effect on all those who would dare to subvert the Constitution of the U.S., take the country into a war of aggression and trash the economy and the fundamental human rights of people in the U.S. and around the globe. 

You can play an important role in this movement. By spreading the word to your friends, neighbors and coworkers you can help it grow into a powerful political force. Click this link to forward this message to your friends. 

Sign the new petition demanding that Bush and Co. be indicted now. Get everyone you know to sign. We had to fight an uphill battle to bring articles of impeachment to the floor of Congress - but we did it! If you signed for impeachment and you believe indictment is a necessity - please take one moment to sign now! We need everyone's voices, coming together to be heard. Now is the time to act. 

We have launched a major new initiative that will include grassroots pressure on Congress, press conferences, petitions, newspaper ads, rallies and mass demonstrations in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere. 

As a proud member of the impeachment movement, become a charter member of the IndictBushNow campaign. Please give your generous support today to help launch this campaign and make it a powerful force by clicking here

We can force the prosecution of Bush, Cheney and the other criminals.  Please take action to make it happen.

George W. Bush was not impeached.

After Inauguration Day Bush left office and is living a life of privilege and comfort


American Military Deaths in Iraq

Total Wounded:

100000+

 

An estimated 1.2 million Iraqis have been killed violently since the US invasion. More than 4 million Iraqis have now been displaced by violence in the country.

 

Cost of the War in Iraq

$599,396,771,958

 

Regardless of the horrendous damage Bush has inflicted upon Iraq and this country, George W. Bush is planning to walk away from the greatest crime ever committed by an American President.

 

He took this country to war under false pretenses.

 

He lied to the Congress and the rest of the American people in order to start his war with Iraq.

 

How can we let this happen? Is there anything we can do about it? Vincent Bugliosi has come up with a remarkable solution in his latest book, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.

 

After reading the book it becomes obvious that impeachment, even if it was "on the table," was not justice.

 

Source: http://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/143772/index.php

 

"Bugliosi meticulously lays out a case against George W. Bush for purposefully deceiving the United States into war, thereby causing over 4,000 U.S. soldier deaths and 100,000-plus civilian Iraqi deaths and counting."

 

"Bugliosi is in a good position as a former prosecutor to ask--on behalf of millions of people--why should someone who accidentally kills a person in a liquor store holdup be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, yet someone who creates death and destruction on an unimaginable scale sail off into the sunset and have a library named after them? Is U.S. law based on justice, or whim?"

 

From the The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder website:

 

"A searing indictment of the President and his administration, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder also outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the oval office."

 

According to Mr. Bugliosi, any state attorney, and many county-level district attorneys, could prosecute George W. Bush for murder and conspiracy to commit murder. To establish jurisdiction for murder, a U.S. soldier who died in Iraq would have to be from that state, or from that local county. And every U.S. state has lost at least one resident to the war in Iraq.

 

We couldn't do anything about George Bush while he was in office. But now some brave prosecutor in this country, armed with the information in Mr. Bugliosi's book, can bring this war-criminal to trial.

A Truth Commission to Investigate Bush-Cheney Administration Abuses

 

I have set up a petition at BushTruthCommission.com, and I hope you will sign it to urge Congress to consider establishing a truth and reconciliation commission to investigate the Bush-Cheney administration's abuses. We already have over 7,000 signatures, but we need to hit 10,000 signatures -- or more -- by next week, to build momentum behind this idea.

COUNTDOWN with KEITH OLBERMANN

 

Guest: Howard Dean, Howard Fineman, Jonathan Truly

 

KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST (voice-over):  Which of these stories will you be talking about tomorrow?

 

Karl Rove, to be prosecuted; Harriet Miers, to be prosecuted; Josh Bolten, to be prosecuted—so Speaker of the House Pelosi thinks.  And the broader Bush crimes—torture, eavesdropping, rendition, quote, “We should have full examination.”  Quote, “I think that further information might take us to that place”—prosecution.

 

As Karl Rove tries to cut a deal on his testimony, the speaker calls a truth and reconciliation commission helpful.  And Alberto Gonzales says he would cooperate, quote, “so long as what with we‘re talking about is the truth and things don‘t become politicized.”  Politicized, Alberto, seriously.

 

Cutting off their states despite their faces: Republican governors, Palin of Alaska, Jindal of Louisiana, Perry of Texas, Barbour of Mississippi, maybe even Sanford of South Carolina, say they might not accept funds from the stimulus, that they all dream of running for president just a coincidence.  Our startled special guest, former Governor Howard Dean.

 

Insurrection at Rupert Murdoch‘s house: An editor e-mails her colleagues about the racist violent depiction about the president in a “New York Post” cartoon, “I neither commissioned or approved it.  I saw it in the paper yesterday with the rest of the world.  And, I have raised my objections to management.”  And the push begins to revoke the Murdoch waiver that lets him own multiple TV stations and a newspaper in the same city, New York.

 

The shoe-thrower speaks.  The in-court eloquence of Muntadar al-Zaidi, “I felt the blood of innocents was running under his feet.”

 

And they have found billionaire conman Allen Stanford, accused of ripping off $8 billion from 50,000 clients.  Allen Stanford who is now linked to Sean Hannity?
