Chileans File War Crimes Suit Against Neo-Cons

A coalition of parties from the Chilean left filed a law suit on Tuesday against U.S. President George W. Bush and high-ranking members of his administration, accusing them of crimes against humanity.

The suit accuses President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and the former U.S. administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, of torture and war crimes, and demands that Bush be interrogated during his upcoming visit to Chile for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.

The accusations relate to acts of torture carried out by U.S. military personnel at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad. The court will now decide whether to act on the suit when Bush and his entourage arrive for the APEC summit on Nov. 19.

The suit was filed Tuesday at noon by a group called Poder Democrático y Social (Podemos, an acronym meaning “we can”), which comprises the Communist, Humanist and Christian Left parties and the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR).

5. While they are at it, they should indict Henry Kissinger, then

Secretary of State, of assassinating Salvador Allende, a freely elected President of Chile and installing Augusto Pinnochet as dictator, instead. Nixon should be too, but he's dead.
