If bu#h & co. Are Ever Held Accountable, What Would Be An Appropriate Punishment?

[Dinger]

After a fair trial, of course. Not that they deserve it though.

[thunder rising]

1. Visions of the Saddam treatment come to mind

[tularetom]

2. Prison forever in a cell lined with naked pictures

of the quaker oats guy.

[Dinger]

5. Whoa, That's Cold

Good idea though:evilgrin:

[Richard Steele]

9. Something "cozy", no windows, not too damp...nm

[GregD]

3. When I was in school, I learned that there was one penalty

FOR TREASON...

[patrice]

4. Prison forever and in a work crew there.

They should do work that helps those whom they hurt.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. freeze their assets and use it for children's healthcare

[Rex]

7. We would have to have a real criminal investigation of 911 first.

And that just ain't happening.

[133724]

8. I usually don't approve of the death penalty but, in this case I will make an acception.

[MadBadger]

10. How bout we put Guantanamo Bay to Good Use.

[deacon]

11. If it's not warrented now- get rid of the law

because what then is an impeachable offense?

Gore is 100% wrong on this.

[Pryderi]

12. I would recommend what Gonzalez condones...

[OffWithTheirHeads]

13. Snap their little heads off like they did to Saddam!

After water boarding them, raping them, subjecting them to false burial, electrocuting their "supposed" genitalia, And generally dragging their sorry asses through the streets so people can throw tomatoes at them.

Did I miss anything?

[rasputin1952]

14. Other: Every nickel made by these people should be

confiscated and they should be left destitute in the streets of this nation. They should feel what they have done to the rest of the people in this nation. Perhaps, if we could recover the fortune of this nation, we could help those that need it most to get a fresh start. The gush of funds to the wealthy, the war, the outsourcing have combined to take this nation from the greatest the world has ever seen, to barely a world power and dynamo.

Take the wealth from these people and the country would survive. Allow them to bleed us of every dime we earn, and the country becomes a mass of fiefdoms...x(

15. drop his sorry ass off in the middle of Baghdad

with no flak jacket, no battalion of soldiers protecting him like McCain got.. just put him right in the middle of the shitstorm that he created and let him work it out for himself.

[DKRC]

16. Definitely Other!

1) Impeach them all.
2) Strip them of their citizenship/assets
3) Hand them all over to the Hague for their war crimes trial.
4) Repeal EVERYTHING they have done since stealing the election in 2000.

As a nation I don't think we've ever been close to perfect, but we weren't blatantly EVIL to everyone who crossed our path like these thugs have been.
:grr:

[spag68]

17. I voted other also

Your post comes close to what I feel. Prison here is definitely too good for these traitors, but trials and adhering to law is as important for them as it is for any other criminals.

[DKRC]

23. I'm all for a fair trial followed by the appropriate punishment

I have 2 reasons I am so determined that they be handed over to the Hague:

1) I think our judicial infrastructure is in such disarray with all their machinations that they would just as likely slip through our fingers as be held accountable for their crimes

And

2) I believe that they should stand trial as personae non gratae for the harm they have inflicted on ALL the peoples of the world while in power and bear the judgment rendered

I don't subscribe to the idea that we can call for other tin-pot dictators to be hauled before the Hague for war crimes, but our own is safeguarded and subject only to our judgment. Seems the height of arrogance to me. Especially given what this regime has done to everyone in our name.

18. Have him share a cell with Charles Manson. Of course Manson would

complain that putting bush in with him would be cruel and unusual punishment.

[OneBlueSky]

19. tar and feathering comes to mind . . . n/t

.

[lpbk2713]

20. Community service --- Working in a VA Hospital.

At minimum wage and with no benefits of course.

Let them see the consequences of their actions.

[lligrd]

21. I Like Exhile - Preferably To Iraq

Seems fitting to me.

[MasterDarkNinja]

22. Jail forever, and publicly charge him as a war criminal

Other evil dictorators like Saddam get high publicity trials in front of the people they once oppressed, so why should Bush be any different?

[Yukari Yakumo]

24. Exile with a twist

Seize all his assets. Liquidate them all and redistribute them to all of Iraq War vets. Give double share to those who were wounded or to the next of kin to those who were killed.

Then dump Bush and his whole family in the middle of Baghdad. No SS agents. No platoon guarding them. Nothing.

[Philosoraptor]

25. Gitmo

[NastyRiffraff]

26. Drawing and quaratering weren't offered as options, so

I voted "Other" Incarceration in a Gitmo-type camp, complete with torture. (Yes, I hate them)
