[bobthedrummer]

No one is above the law.
There is no statute of limitations for murder.

[BuyingThyme]

1. Umm.... Yes.

And I will not hesitate to add Democrats to that list for helping them get away.

[virgogal]

2. Wasting your time--there will never be a prosecution. Ever.

[BuyingThyme]

5. Yes there will.

[bobthedrummer]

6. I am but one of we, the people-and I never give up virgogal. Neither do my brothers and sisters.

[elocs]

8. When you are here longer you will not that here they don't want to hear that. Ever.

Even if it turns out to be true, they don't ever want to hear that.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

69. Are you going to make sure there isnt?

Yeah if it were up to people like you then you are right there never will be prosecutions, but fortunately not everyone is like you.

[arcadian]

3. Yes, criminals must be held accountable.

K&R

[Just-plain-Kathy]

41. Yes, and if Obama doesn't hold them accountable, HE then should be investigated.

[DS1]

4. another one?

What's this, every three days?

9. It's a simple way to get lots of Recs and make it to the front page. n/t

[bobthedrummer]

10. Like that's OUR motive? Or do you get "rewards" for your absurd reductionism?

Besides, I'm quite active in the real world elocs as you well know, you sound like a DLC schill when it comes to ignoring crimes against humanity, war profiteering and treason among other things.

[elocs]

14. I am saying simply that posting:

"Check-in thread for DUers supporting prosecution of Bush/Cheney criminals" will always get lots of Recs and end up on the front page no matter how often it is posted.

No, I'm not a DLC schill (the DU equivalent of the McCarthy era of calling someone a Communist) and I don't ignore the things you list, but I am ignoring you.

[EFerrari]

40. It would be nice to see this thread on the front page every day

until these bastards are in prison. :thumbsup:

[Mira]

48. I. am. with. you. ! K&R

16. Checking in... What can I do to see that it happens?

I handed out Deception Dollars (see deceptiondollar.com ), at my EMT class last week. I have been giving them away for years, but without going on a starvation fast, is there any way we can get this done?

27. These criminals "broke" our institutions at every level and branch of "government" after they were

installed in office. Today everything is in flux-there is no escaping the political aspects and the blow back. There are no quick and easy remedies.

Never give up on this and link-up with as many groups as you can from the grass roots to DC committee members to the WH.

That's what many of US are doing regardless of all else in these unprecedented times. NGU, ADW, NGU. Join up with as many groups as you can is my advice, fwiw.

[hootinholler]

17. Nor is there a statue of limitation on torture.

Just in case people here have forgotten. Here is a most excellent reminder that only encompasses Abu Ghraib.

-Hoot

[bobthedrummer]

29. Tortured in OUR name, unilaterally violating international treaties and agreements, issuing illegal

orders, employing mercenaries and committing treason-among other things, and the folks that "ordered" these "policies" haven't been held accountable, yet.

"We don't torture." G.W.Bush.
"We don't torture." R.B.Cheney
"We don't torture." D.H.Rumsfeld
"We don't torture." G.Tenet
"We don't torture." C. Rice
"We don't torture." A. Gonzales
"We don't torture." et al

[hootinholler]

31. There are four treaties that require us to prosecute.

No officer has yet been punished for what happened at Abu.

-Hoot

I can't believe I wrote statue instead of statute.

[FailureToCommunicate]

57. I'm with you. The world was thrilled with Obama's election. Now they are hoping

for investigations into the mayhem Bush and company unleashed. Waiting... and full of hope... but for how long?
Just watched "W" and got angry all over again. War, torture, domestic spying, all based on lies and know-nothing decisions while stuffing sandwiches into his mouth...
Bring them all before the judges!

[Blue_In_AK]

18. Is it that time again?

I will never stop supporting prosecution of these criminals.

And if Obama continues to stonewall this and following in Bush's footsteps when it comes to torture policy, Obama will lose my support. He's already halfway there.

[peace13]

51. Obama, you are a smart man. Listen to those who tell you that justice must prevail.

A lawless America will be very ugly, and that is what you will have if you let these war criminals go. Please do it today because this continual posting of how you need to do the right thing it getting very tiring. Peace, Kim

[Lugnut]

[florida08]

53. As of February 14

71% of Americans are in favor of an investigation into the possible misuse of the Department of Justice by the Bush administration according to a Gallup poll released yesterday. The Bush administration has been accused of using the Department of Justice for political maneuvering including the firing of U.S. attorneys and the investigation and conviction of Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, a Democrat.
Of the 71% who believe Bush should be investigated, 41% want a criminal investigation while 30% are in favor of investigation by an independent panel. 71% is a very high percentage of the American population.

Obama should support us in wanting accountability. Just as law enforcement holds ciitizens accountable so should the nation hold it's leaders in power accountable. Otherwise our democracy is broken and sets a bad example for others.

[milord]

56. war ctimes

Bush and Cheney should be prosecuted for committing war crimes but don't hold your breath. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. What a shame it's not going to happen.

[man4allcats]

58. Still waiting to see their criminal asses on the gallows.

Then again, I guess hell hasn't frozen over yet. I am not deterred though. I'm still looking for that big cold front to blow through and do the job.

[daggahead]

59. Since President Obama is now reading 10 letters a day ...

We all need to write a letter to President Obama calling for the investigation and indictment of the Bush Crime Family, as well as any of the accessories to those crimes.

61. War Criminals, Including Their Lawyers, Must Be Prosecuted (Marjorie Cohn)

"Attorney General Eric Holder should appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate and prosecute high Bush officials including lawyers like John Yoo who gave them “legal” cover. Obama is correct when he said that no one is above the law. Accountability is critical to ensuring that our leaders never again torture and abuse people."

:hi: bob
I think we have a better chance of seeing it today than we did yesterday and will have a better chance tomorrow. We must not let up for one second. My fellow Veterans deserve no less. Our wars were in different times and different places but they remain the same in the fact they were unnecessary, unjust and wrong. We vets are alwasy right, hey we tried, but our leadership is dead wrong in all this.
