Poll question: Will Bush Admin. officials be indicted and convicted for any crimes?

[MaineYooper]

1. Valerie Plame case

once they pin it on someone...

[harpo]

6. they had BETTER or the repukes will do it again

[aden_nak]

2. Anyone that is of no use to PNAC.

The only PNAC member in danger is Rumsfeld, possibly. Although he is a direct signer, he would be the easiest person to dump ALL of the blame onto. Cheney will walk, George W. will walk because Jeb is a signer and isn't going to let Lil' Brother go down like that. Anyone OUTSIDE of PNAC is pertty much fucked. Ashcroft will take a lot of heat, because he's even more useless to them than Rummy. As for Condi Rice, well. . . I hope she's handy with a shiv.

3. No, look at Ollie North, Kissinger, Bush Senior, Negroponte... all got off

I will be happy if I never have to look at the giggling murderer again.

5. Exactly. They are slippery little weasels.

7. You don't think there will be any convictions at all? (nt)

[bullimiami]

4. if bush blanket pardons the mess of them

we can still get him and send the rest to the international court for the war crimes trial.

they are still vulnerable to civil charges.

[harpo]

8. he can only pardon convictions...not accused ;)

[goodboy]

15. My friend Scott says that even if they're charged they will get off

what do you think?

[goodboy]

22. Scott says, "as much as we all know they should be convicted

for all the crimes they've committed, they'll still get off"
(Scott's on our team, and he approved this message)

[merh]

16. Wrong - gerald ford pardoned nixon before any charges were

returned or any convictions had!

He can pardon all!

[Canabian]

9. In a perfect world...YES!!

[drdigi420]

10. bush will pardon cheney, then resign, then cheney will pardon bush

they will live wealthily ever after with their stolen loot

[goodboy]

12. LOL...(nt)

[Roland99]

11. Yes! For PlameGate and for AbuGate

[merh]

13. No- the weed will pardon everyone!

The same mentality that prevented the weed from joining the international court will allow him to pardon all. No one will answer for the sins of this admin -- not in this life time at least!

[pdx_prog]

14. They should convict them of EVERYTHING.....

I don't want MY tax dollars spent to house these idiots though, so I have a better idea....


Make them work as extras on Will and Grace every week....

18. so, what does that have to do with anything...?

[goodboy]

19. over 100 Reagan admin. officials were indicted...

[chaz4jazz]

23. Really? And to think he's the greatest president we've had

Go on chat rooms. See what the Bush supporters say - as they glow about Ronald Reagan being one of, if not the greatest, president we've ever had.

What's 100 indictments?

[zbdent]

20. Wonder if they still have that plane that Osama bin Laden's family

used 9/13/2001?

[chaz4jazz]

21. They need to be silenced once and for all

Or they'll be back. The likes of Rove and his buddies will not rest and will make it very difficult on future work by Dems. They need to pay for their crimes and I'm sure there are plenty of them.

Problem is, congress, if it's run by the GOP, will not investigate the Bush administrations mishandlings and criminal behavior.

Pres. Kerry can sic the Justice Department on them but congress funds the department's special prosecutions.

But what we don't want is a Kerry administration that says "let bygones be bygones" because Rove and his ilk will be back, in just two years, they'll be sabotaging and stealing and trying to make Kerry look bad. See William Jefferson Clinton for references.

[Edmond Dantes]

28. We can look at citizen suits--such as those available...

under the False Claims Act. Or civil RICO (racketeering) action.

Sadly, they will destroy evidence during Transition Period.

[goodboy]

24. kick

[sir_arms_50]

25. I doubt it, too much history of no action

on issue like this.

[dqueue]

26. well...

I optimistically vote "YES", but realistically, my expectations are low. I hope Nixon is not the precedent, and that Kerry encourages investigations when he's in office.

1. Valerie Plame investigation. douchebag Novak explained he heard her name from two senior administration officials.

2. Sibel Edmonds' allegations. Her claims warrant investigation, as she has openly stated that if her allegations are fully investigated, prominent people face prosecution and incarceration. She's been gagged by ashcroft.

3. Larry Franklin/Doug Feith/Paul Wolfowitz investigation. Larry Franklin was the target of a 2-year FBI investigation into possible ESPIONAGE from within the Pentagon, and passing secrets to Israel via AIPAC. The bigger concern was that Israel was directly manipulating draft policy via Franklin. Franklin works under Feith in Pentagon Office of Special Plans.

4. John Ashcroft. Misprisonment of a felon is a criminal charge for knowingly concealing details of a criminal act. Per Edmonds' allegations, he may be complicit in 9/11. Further, obstruction of Justice, as he allegedly quashed the Larry Franklin investigation.

5. Bush/Cheney/Rice/Powell. Lying to Congress and the American people. I don't know if it could ever be established that they purposefully skewed intelligence to justify the war in Iraq... it seems quite believable.

[offcenter]

27. Indictments

Wait til January to bring the indictments, Mr. Fitzgerald. No begging your pardons.

Karl & Scooter in the Plame case.
Scooter & Cheney for Halliburton scams.
Feith & Ludie for treason (cooking intelligence).
Bush for treason (lying us into illegal war).
Rumsfeld for war crimes & torture.

Get out the pitchforks!!

[Edmond Dantes]

30. For torture...

... don't forget the lawyers who trumped up legal justification. Timothy E. Flanigan, John Yoo, Robert Delahunty, plus 2 former Asst. Attorneys General at DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel--including one who is now on the federal bench.

[AuntPatsy]

29. If there is a God, these men shall be forced to pay for all the lives

lost, securities lost and countless other crimes against so many.

[TahitiNut]

31. If Kerry wins and there're no indictments ... I'll stop supporting Kerry.

These criminals absolutely must be indicted. I'll accept nothing less.
