Disclosure of wrongdoing at the highest level, and only 16 views
This is about Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and war crimes.
Here is the link: http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/290701-1

Earlier today I posted a reference to Sir Jeremy Greenstock's* testimony to the Commission designated to investigate Britain's involvement in the war in Iraq. Particularly they will decide if Tony Blair will be charged with war crimes. During the interview in the link many references, almost continuous, are made to what was going on on our side of the pond in the leadup to the war.

The video has only been viewed 16 times. It almost broke my heart when I saw that. I pray someone from either Keith or Rachel's show sees this because if its isn't seen soon it will be as if it never happened. We have killed far too many people to act as if this war created itself.

Please watch a bit of the interview/testimony. Tell others about it. This just can't be lost, its far too important.

Great Britain's Ambassador to the United States 1998-2003.

28. True, but if this administration won't prosecute him, which future administration will?
If history is any guide, the political pendulum will swing back the other way eventually and do you really think there is any chance that a future administration more conservative than the present one will do anything about this? IMO our only hope for justice is through an international venue, but I'm not holding my breath on that one either.

8. True to form Obama has decided to look forward.
But thank you for the info. I'll watch the video. I don't expect this president or anyone in government to hold high level criminals accountable. The rule of law doesn't apply to our ruling elite.

9. "Obama not interested in prosecuting torturers in previous administration"
http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2008/s2556325.htm

So the video is purely historical.

36. So in your opinion, the only reason to bring up what Bush and his Republican
Administration perpetrated is so that you can bash Obama?

BTW, are you a proescutor?

24. We are responsible for 1,000,000 dead but New Democrats are soooo over it.
Edited on Fri Dec-25-09 10:14 AM by scentopine
Democrats are eager to get on the "bomb the hell out of strange looking citizens of an impoverished country run while propping up their outrageously corrupt narco/oil driven government" bandwagon.

New democrats are so desperate to earn their war chops and prove they are just as republican as the republicans that they are tripping over each other for the opportunity to add another 100,000+ (or more) to the body count.

For the New Democrats supporting the war is the same as fighting the war with a few obvious advantages. I'd like to send the New Democrat war supportors to the funerals of the impoverished innocents that are stacking up like cord wood so they splash in the rivers of blood (come on in! the blood is perfect!) and explain how this is actually good for America and by default good for everyone else, too.

Its easy to slaughter people by the millions when they don't have any money. Meanwhile, here at home, Obama is impotent against Wall Street.

Jesus if there was ever a reason to bring back the draft, this is it.

If it can't be broken down to a few pithy words (as meaningless as they might actually be), people just can't wrap their brains around it, and the media will NOT cover it in any serious way..

Edited on Fri Dec-25-09 06:05 PM by bertman
the Empire will never prosecute those who do its bidding at the highest levels.

Now, as President Obama has given his approval to Predator strikes against "terrorists" and in the process killed scores of innocent civilians, it is obvious why he would not pursue the war crimes of BushCo.

edit for grammar.
