W Stands for War Criminal
http://images.google.com/images?q=war+criminal&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&start=20&sa=N&ndsp=20


google images with the search term "war criminal" and you'll see there's widespread agreement.

Bush wants to cover his ass when it comes to torture. He's afraid and angry that he and Cheney and Rumsfeld and many of their enablers will be tried and jailed, and possibly executed, for war crimes.

It is too late. Bush and his sick pals allowed or ordered the sodomizing of children in Abu Ghraib. They've tortured people to death. They've held people for years at Gitmo without charges. They have kept secret prisons which is contrary to US and international law. Those are FACTS. Don't let senators change the interpretation of the Geneva Convention to legalize torture and child abuse.

America needs to say NO MORE.

Senators saw or were invited to see the pictures and videos. Tell your senators you are ashamed of them for keeping silent about the torture of children and others.

1. "We do not torture!"
Remember when he said that? Now he's basically saying, "we need to make torture legal, retroactively- back to way before I said we don't torture!"

3. For a simple 8X10 poster with his quote go to
http://homepage.mac.com/alfredo_tomato/Wheatpaste.html

Then go to page 4. It will be on the bottom left. click on the thumbnail and a full size image will load. If you download to your drive it will print out on an 8X10 sheet.

"Blood Soaked President." That freaked out my wife, so I changed it to what you see.

10. Thanks for calling it the way it is! People should be very afraid.
Someone pointed me toward a site that will make larger posters out of artwork that you can email them. Kinkos will also do it.

Your sign and sticker designs are great.

16. thank you.
My site was designed for the money deficient activist. Black ink and a cheap printer is all you need.

I would like to make larger images for bigger posters, but that is for a time when I have broad band and can upload the big files. I do have a program that enables the making of larger posters from an image sliced up so each section would fit on an 8X10 sheet of paper.

Some of my newer images were made using an SVG editor. It makes for a cleaner text that can be enlarged without as much degradation as the old text.

14. Thanks
Look over my site in my signature line entitled "anti bush posters" and use any idea or take the image and change to your liking.

My posters are mostly black and white for several reasons. I designed them for sidewalk blogging. I understand that the person seeing it may only get a quick glance. I want to make a quick impression.

First the message is the reason. I want everything in the image to support my message.

I want it cheap to reproduce. Ink is expensive, color ink is even more expensive.

Color ink fades quicker.

Many people do not have good color printers.

The early idea was to "brand bush." I wanted a series of posters that can be put up on city streets in a random fashion that taken together would brand bush. I saw it more of an installation than individual works of propaganda. Since then it has evolved. I did the installation idea shortly after the 2004 election.

I use wheat paste to make sure the images stay up beyond the first freeper who sees it. I did find people added comments to my posters. Some were in support, some weren't. One added a paper doll type of effect on one. So what was done to many of the images enhanced the original work of street art.

My favorite was the result of total destruction of my poster. The act of destruction with a buffer became a thing of beauty.

11. The things that we know about makes me fearful
of all the things that we DON'T know about - yet.

17. That very thought keeps me up at night
As bad as it is - and it is very bad - what about the things we don't know...

12. New article: US imprisoned 14,000 since start of war on terror
and Gitmo and Iraq prisons are undergoing MASSIVE expansion.

http://www.comcast.net/news/index.jsp?cat=GENERAL&fn=/2006/09/17/478429.html

Human rights groups count dozens of detainee deaths for which no one has been punished or that were never explained. The secret prisons _ unknown in number and location _ remain available for future detainees. The new manual banning torture doesn't cover CIA interrogators. And thousands of people still languish in a limbo, deprived of one of common law's oldest rights, habeas corpus, the right to know why you are imprisoned.

The Navy is planning long-term at Guantanamo. This fall it expects to open a new, $30-million maximum-security wing at its prison complex there, a concrete-and-steel structure replacing more temporary camps.
snip
In Iraq, Army jailers are a step ahead. Last month they opened a $60-million, state-of-the-art detention center at Camp Cropper, near Baghdad's airport. The Army oversees about 13,000 prisoners in Iraq at Cropper, Camp Bucca in the southern desert, and Fort Suse in the Kurdish north.

Neither prisoners of war nor criminal defendants, they are just "security detainees" held "for imperative reasons of security," spokesman Curry said, using language from an annex to a U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing the U.S. presence here.
