What if Bush & Company are called to The Hague for War Crimes?

November 16th, 2008 | Matthew J. Weaver

Rather, WHEN not IF. In my opinion it is only a matter of time before George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, John Ashcroft, Doug Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, George Tenet, and many others will be charged with credible and substantiated war crimes. It is a sad predicament and our shame that America has bloodied its reputation with state-ordered and state-sponsored kidnapping, torture, and secret prisons during the past eight years at the direction of George Bush and his Administration.

America is better than this.

It will be a defining moment for America when we are faced with the choice of turning George Bush and company over for trial or shielding them from the international tribunal. From what I have read and watched, I have no doubt that sufficient grounds exist for George Bush and company to be charged with and likely convicted of war crimes for kidnapping, torture, and secret prisons. I for one will not only accept our government handing them over for trial but I demand it.

I still hold out hope that “President-elect” Obama will not be sworn in (See Not So Fast! How about that citizenship “President-elect” Obama?), but regardless of whether he, McCain, or someone else takes the office of president what will they do? If asked for George Bush and company to be turned over for war crimes, will they? What if they are arrested while traveling overseas and sent to The Hague, will and how will we intervene?

I say turn them over, let them be arrested, good riddance to them all. Even further, I personally believe that the next administration should take the lead in pursuing war crimes against George Bush, Don Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, John Ashcroft, Doug Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, George Tenet, and anyone and everone else who ordered or carried out these heinous acts. America cannot be left sullied by the kidnapping, torture, and secret prisons that they wrought under our name.

What are your thoughts on this?

Searching in Vain for the Obama Magic (Der Spiegel)
Starting out with "Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false as his Tuesday address announcing America's new strategy for Afghanistan," this editorial admit "nausea" upon hearing Obama's speech.

The Climate Science Isn't Settled, Confident predictions of catastrophe are unwarranted (Wall Street Journal)
A rather detailed discussion on global warming that looks at that the globally averaged temperature anomaly (GATA). It is definitely worth a read but I'm not sure what point Lindzen is trying to make in the final paragraph.

Leaked emails won't harm UN climate body, says chairman (Guardian)
Chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says global warming is not debunk because of a few scientists. For Rajendra Pachauri--check out the picture accompanying the article as this guy is a definite look-alike of the Unibomber and his the religion of Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) is just as dangerous to civilization. Anyway, he claims that despite everything, AGW is alive and well. He even defended Phil Jones and said he should not resign.
Diplomacy 101 (New York Times)
New York Times editorial the president an F for diplomacy in the Middle East. Obama "demanded that Israel freeze settlements, Palestinians crack down on anti-Israel violence and Arab leaders demonstrate their readiness to reach out to Israel."

We will release the data...
Climategate: University of East Anglia U-turn in climate change row (Telegraph)
We threw away the data...
Climate change data dumped (Times)
The Climate Research Unit says, according to the Telegraph, that they will release the raw data that global warming is based upon. At the same time the Times reports that the same folks now admit that the raw data was thrown away. All they kept was the manipulated data they created to support global warming. As Roger Pielke, professor of environmental studies at Colorado University, is quoted in the Times, “The CRU is basically saying, ‘Trust us’."
Afghans Detail a Secret Prison Still Operating on a U.S. Base (New York Times)
According to this article, Obama continues to run at least two secret prisons--one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan--with reports of abuse and prisoners held without rights normally afforded prisons of war. Surprising to hear that this continued after Bush left office. This is a terrible stain on America's reputation and puts Americans at risk of similar mistreatment if captured.
