Bush should be prosecuted

[ProSense]

I hope Bush is prosecuted. To hell with the argument about priorities. Congress can walk and chew gum at the same time. Prosecuting Bush doesn't have to supplant the urgent priorities, just get it done, and do it right. I don't care how long it takes.

What's going to happen the next time a callous bastard does what Bush has done? Are people going to say "let's move on and heal the country" because the country has been through too much? Bush didn't care that he was taking the country and the world through hell. He acted like an arrogant, greedy and self-centered bastard and did anything he wanted to do. He never once expressed regret for the misery and death wrought on the world by his actions.

We're a nation of laws, and Bush broke a lot of them.

I don't always get what I want, but that's what I want: Bush prosecuted.




edited extra words.

1. I'm with you - the biggest reason that we MUST prosecute him is to say to the world

"Yes, we take our own laws seriously!"

Sure, it'd be nice to punish the criminal jackass as well, but mostly we must prosecute because our law demands it, and the world wants us to follow our own laws.

4. Exactly. n/t

2. The gaping wound will not heal...

Unless it is first scrubbed clean of all infection and dead flesh (Bush). Ignoring the wound will only allow it to fester and spread. We are on the verge of gangrene as it is!

3. I completely agree. There is no reasonable alternative. Letting these criminals walk

will do nothing but embolden other cabals to continue reigns of terror.

We must hold Bush / Cheney responsible for their premeditated war.

6. This is a radical idea:

prosecuting lawbreakers, especially those connected to a rogue President.


Seriously, people need to get over the idea that Presidents are above the law.

5. Better yet, prosecute EVERYONE downline...low hanging fruit that will send a louder message

[ProSense]

9. That should be a given.

Still, Bush, Cheney, Rove and others should be prosecuted.

7. umm... before we hang people, we need a serious independent investigation into...

Who buried the "burn notices" on iraqi WMD intel.

Anybody in the administration who had knowledge of the internal CIA discrediting of those WMD claims needs to be prosecuted on appropriate charges, and those who intentionally buried the burn notices need to be charged with Treason at the very least. I happy to believe Bush wasn't fully aware of that. I suspect Condi Rice was and played dumb because she's a spineless apologist.

Prosecuting him on "enemy combatant" and domestic spying stuff is fruitless.

Personally, I think he himself was fairly clueless in the first couple years and was being manipulated by Cheney, Perle, Feith, Wolfowitz, Card, Libby, Rumsfeld, etc. and his fleet of "make the law fit our desires" lawyers.

8. Hang?

Nothing in the OP suggests anything in your comment.

Prosecuting is the appropiate term.
