Should Bush be indicted?

[LuckyTheDog]

Should a special prosecutor be appointed to look into Bush's decision to "set aside" FISA?

Or, because Bush admitted what he did, should the Justice Dept. just save time by indicting him and letting the courts sort it out?

I vote for the latter.

1. Surely

And after searching far and wide, Dick Cheney will decide that he is the best candidate to be the special prosecutor.

3. I had someone else in mind

Harriet "He's Brilliant" Miers. ><

2. Bush should be prosecuted to the fullest extent

of the law and then some. The people should judge his crimes against humanity and the USA. I hope that one day, this will become a reality....

4. Ship him to the Hague!

He should be tried by an international tribunal, IMO.

5. I Share Your Hope, dogday!

But the likely reality is that he'll go back to the pig farm in 2009, spend the rest of his life getting drunk and screwing mexican domestic help and being totally ignored, even by republicans.

I think that his will be the LEAST sought after former president's opinion in history!

6. Uhhhhh... yes?

7. Personally, I would like to see him "fired."

And then a new election. It seems to me we could avoid the succession rules if he was fired. I like the idea of a special election.

8. what do you think . . .?

I find it most intriguing that the warrantless surveillance on the citizenry, especially those "quarrelsome Quakers", petrifying Peta people, and those troublesome tree hugging Sierra club folks, is getting so much attention as qualifying as a singular high crime.

This recent uproar reminded me of a lengthy laundry list compiled a while ago by one of those insightful gentlemen over at the crisis papers that I happened to copy and save for some strange reason. .
http://www.crisispapers.org /.

"Among these open and confirmable crimes (of this administration):
*
Lying to Congress is a crime.
*
Disclosing the identity of a covert intelligence agent is a crime.
*
Perjury is a crime.
*
Influence peddling (“graft”) is a crime.
 *
Torture of prisoners and violation of the Geneva Conventions is a crime.
 *
Violation of civil liberties (denial of rights to counsel, trial, etc.) is a crime.
*
Failure to obey a court order (i.e. of the Supreme Court) is a crime.
 *
Misprision (i.e., incitement) of a felony is a crime.
*
Voting fraud is a crime.
 *
Obstruction of Justice is a crime."

I would humbly add: insider trading (Harken) , bribery bought and sold with public funds only to further "catapult the propaganda," stealing a family's farm (Ranger's stadium,) and torturing any sentient being (starting with all those frogs he detonated as a kid,) to that list, but that's just me.

To say nothing of rumors of three of his biographers supposedly being suicided and possible complicity in all the LIHOP & MIHOP theories, firmly believed by so many.

So everyone's all excited about some officials and pundits finally uttering the so called "I" word. As if, Diebold and ES&S would ever allow a Dem majority in Congress to preside ever again.

Sorry for the cynicism but having observed three questionable elections and no federal legislation come the floor to fix HAVA and all the glaring security flaws & "features" in the privately owned voting equipment, I much prefer the concept of a most deserved resignation and indictment of the entire "misadministration."

Call me a dreamer, but after all of this odious and obvious criminal behavior, * and his band of incompetent, conscience-less, and ethicless thieves, are truly worthy of nothing less.

If lying about a "third rate burglary" resulted in the resignation of a President, wouldn't lying about a casus belli resulting in countless deaths and rampant destructiion, in addition to this litany of overt violations of laws long establish, do so as well. . .?
