seriously though

[Soylent Brice]

how many reports, commissions, findings, evidence, court cases, testimonies, and i don't know... facts, have to be thrown in the faces of the american people do something about the fact that bush and the gang fucking tortured people, before something is actually done about it?



i've mainly lurked these last few years, but motherfuck what's wrong with us.

i know there's more immediate, and awful tragedies going on right now, i'm terribly sorry for all those who've lost loved ones. i don't mean to distract from all that's going on. i just had to say that.

1. I'm afraid nothing will ever be done, unless another country grabs them for prosecution. The dick

and Rummy, iirc, are going to Thatcher's funeral, maybe a landing in Spain would do it. I believe I read they had prosecuted in absentia. Seems I've heard of several countries that convicted them.

I sure hope someone gets those war criminal bastards in the near future. Apparently we need to "look forward" and ignore war crimes.

2. Nothing will ever be done here because too many people from both parties are in it

up to their eyeballs. If they ever let investigation and prosecution go forward neither party would have enough insiders left to maintain control.

3. Torture is only prosecuted when you lose.

If you "win", then it was the price of victory.

4. I'm hoping the Iraqis in exile form a government in exile that can petition

The World Court to investigate and try the Bush administration and all those involved in the invasion of Iraq and subsequent torture policies. That includes brass in the Pentagon who were involved. I hope that by international law this can be done. Not that I think any of them will do any prison time, but I think the world needs to know that we harbor war criminals within our borders. It should be brought up any time we try to broker treaties or trade agreements. Hopefully, if it complicates our foreign policy, it will eventually force us to clean our own house. I know I'm hoping a lot but fixing this has to start somewhere.
