In reply to the discussion: So the DOJ acknowledges that the Bush War Criminals are guilty of crimes! [View all]Summer Hathaway
(2,770 posts)adding your commentary along the way describing exactly where the DOJ stated that Bush was "just following orders".
And if you are going to drag out the idea that 'acting within the scope of ones employment' is equal to 'just following orders', save it. It is a ridiculous and incredibly desperate notion.
Given the 'scope of employment' that a president operates within, he would not be "just following orders" in any sense of the term.
As for the US Gov't question, we've been through this before, sabrina. You always attempt to change the subject when you've been cornered by your own lack of knowledge, and you know you're losing the argument as a result thereof.
And you still haven't backed up the assertions you made in the OP - but I'm not holding my breath for an answer. I never do - because they're never forthcoming.
