    The geneva convention should be outlawed.
    this war would be over alot sooner if we didnt follow these rules. you think terrorist follow this idea? we only way to win a war is to grab the enemy by the throut. I wish we had people like george patton running the show.

    Regardless of USA …
    Regardless of USA legislation that would pardon Bush and his cronies, International Law is still applicable and any nation-state that has domestic law universal jurisdiction for War Crimes may prosecute him for said War Crimes.

    It is interesting that the proponents (zionists and neo-conservatives) of torture and terror of others are the first to whimper and cry foul when they may become the targets of same.

    While you may be correct I urge you not to give up hope and continue to seek justice even if all that means talking with your neighbors and writing your elected officials.

    To give up does nothing for no one.

    Darlin’ there has been more than enough crimes and improprities to impeach these s,but it still has not happened and I no longer believe
    it will. Congress too worried about
    their collective political es. Remember 2000,when there were House
    objections presented re:the
    disenfranchisement of a significant
    number of their constituents? Not one
    damned Senator…Dem or Repub…would
    sign one of them.

    Friend,

    Do not despair. More is taking place in the background than you may know about.

    Citizen Commissions + Subpoena Powers + Full Disclosure + Confessions + Trails + Sentences = Progress.

    It is more than 8 months later,and far from cooked,he is still blackmailing Congress and getting away with criminal behavior. Forgive please a reply to such an old post,but I wanted to re-visit some of these vids and see if anyone else is as discouraged as I am.
