Should War Crimes Trial Of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld ...
be started immediately after the Democratic Nominee takes the oath of office as President in 2005? (Oh I wish.)

Should the gang of accused war criminals be handed over to the Haag in January or February 2005?

What should the charges iclude?

1. The bigger question is who has jurisdiction
Should they not first be tried in the US for 9/11?

2. Can't/Won't
Bushco has done everything in it's power to ensure that no civilian or military personnel can be brought before the Hague, both by their bilateral non-extradition agreements with over 30 nations under Article 98 of the Rome Statute of the Int'l Criminal Court and by the American Servicemembers Protection Act, which states that the US is authorized to use any force necessary to get back US citizens who may be indicted or brought before the Hague.
