U.S. Thanks and Encourages Spain to PROSECUTE BUSH OFFCIALS
:party: :bounce: :toast: :headbang: :applause: :popcorn: :woohoo:

" If you've wanted to be part of a powerful effort to bring Bush-era officials to justice for their crimes, now is your chance. We've joined a national effort to reach out to the people of Spain, whose courts are considering prosecuting six of Bush's lawyers under international law. Our campaign includes an open letter and ads in prominent Spanish newspapers and billboards.




Even though the Obama administration has been working hard behind the scenes to stop this, our friends at the Center for Constitutional Rights have already submitted proof to the Spanish courts that our government is not taking action under international law and treaties. Now is our chance - we can keep the wheels of justice turning by doing people-to-people diplomacy now.


Here's what you do:

Read and sign the letter to the Spanish people at http://rootsaction.org/


WarIsACrime.org's name is behind it. The letter will go to the Spanish embassy and consulates across the country on Monday - Valentine's Day. We'll also bring Spanish officials flowers and invite the media. You can join us in these events. Get details at http://rootsaction.org

7. If these 'crimes' that folks want the Bush officials prosecuted for, and
the crimes (war, occupation, rendition, et al) continue into the next administration, is that next administration complicit by that continuance?

If so, will they too be prosecuted?

9. The clock is ticking...
If this administration doesn't prosecute war crimes, then officials of this administration should be prosecuted. The clock is ticking.
