What They Deserve - A Fair War Crimes Trial & Jury Verdict

[kpete]

Let's say Iran captured some US soldiers. Let's say the soldiers were stripped naked and kept in a near-freezing cell until hypothermia set in, and then allowed out for a while; let's say they were then collared and physically slammed repeatedly against plywood walls; let's say they were then forced to stand for hours and hours on end in positions that caused them excruciating pain; and then let's say they were strapped to a waterboard and near-drowned 183 times.

Do you think a president - any president - of the United States would insist they had not been tortured? The question answers itself. And the war crimes committed by John Yoo and his colleagues are not debatable in the actual world or in the context of American history. He's a war criminal and deserves nothing but a fair war crimes trial and a jury verdict to determine if his war crimes were somehow justified.

2. It often takes a lot of time and effort to bring the worst crimes to trial.

Kissinger still lurks. But Pinochet got his, even if 30 years too late.

Bush has some time left.

4. " The wheels of justice grind slowly but grind they do "

Mr Bush,Mr Kissinger and those that enabled them to torture,maim and murder innocent men,women and children will stand before the an Honest judge and they will have to defend their behavior.

5. Good for Andrew Sullivan for not letting these crimes fade away.

What a national disgrace that Yoo is a college professor in this country. It is this kind of thing that is losing America its moral authority and the respect of the world. We can no longer point fingers elsewhere, because we can we do, they are pointed right back at us, as happened with China last year.
