When the U.S. signs a treaty, its provisions carry the full force of U.S. law. One such treaty is the U.N. Convention Against Torture, of which the U.S. is a core signatory. As Philippe Sands writes in his new book “Torture Team:” Parties to the… Convention are required to investigate any person who is alleged to have committed torture. If appropriate, they must then prosecute — or extradite the person to a place where he will be prosecuted. The Torture Convention… criminalizes any act that constitutes complicity or participation in torture. Complicity or participation could certainly be extended not only to the politicians and but also the lawyers involved…”

George W. Bush has publicly confessed that he ordered torture, thus violating the Convention Against Torture. He, Cheney, Rumseld, Rice and the other Principals must therefore be arrested and, unlike the thousands of detainees kidnapped by the U.S. since 9/11, arraigned and placed on trial.

treason, treason I say. I demand you leave the president of these united states alnoe with your blasphemy, half truthes and outrgiht lies. To the gallows with your cut and paste rants. The day blue helmets set foot on thsi siol armed they will be driven back into the sea from where thye came. To arms, TO ARMS

Won't happen here but other countries have been entertaining the idea. They won't even make him honor his congressional order for military action in Iraq, how are they going to get him for torture? Not going to happen. Hopefully his god will make him pay for his crimes cause this country will not.

Finally a thread speaking some sense! Bush must be recognized as the war criminal he is.. I surely hope he is charged someday.

we will great them as "liberators"

you sir are a traitor to our constitution, as well as the founding fathers

If you simply read and understand the first post you will see I am not the traitor but you may be a collaborator

Opinions & azz holes, some just bigger & stink more, free speech, but god do some people get BORING. Madison I acknowledge you right, but you do get BORING. "my opinion"

tory, tory, tory

what part of signing a treaty is hard for you to understand?

the same part you have with comprehending our constitution

Because the torture ordered by Bush and his cabinet directly resulted in death, they must additionally be charged with several counts of murder. Fifteen U.S. soldiers have been charged with the murders of two detainees at the U.S. airbase at Bagram, Afghanistan in 2002. They were following orders issued by their Commander-in-Chief and his Principals.

the term phlem comes to mind at this very moment

At least four detainees have committed suicide at the torture camp created by George W. Bush after 9/11 at Guantánamo Bay. Twenty-five more made 41 unsuccessful attempts to kill themselves. The conditions of their confinement — ordered by Bush and his Principals — constitutes torture. It no doubt prompted their deaths.
