Petition to Prosecute

If not posted already, there is a WhiteHouse.gov petition to prosecute for warcrimes.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/prosecute-full-extent-law-all-parties-responsible-use-torture-outlined-cia-report/17ZgKTtB

they need 100,000 signatures by Jan 8th (isn't this the site where they get enough sigs, the Administration/President HAS to respond Publicly? or did that get changed and I wasn't looking?)

Just saying, it's there, and The President said "MAKE me do it."

FINE.

(edited for content--I read the numbers backward ((its been a long day)), and I have corrected.)

PLEASE go sign this, and MAKE them respond.

but Manning and John Kiriakou are rotting in prison and Snowden is on the run.

Talk about priorities.

lawlessness in this nation starting with the mortgage and derivatives fraud and stolen election. Now the criminality is firmly entrenched. It's corruption from sea to shining sea.

Even if EVERY AMERICAN signed this petition, Obama would give it, like the countless others on that site, a quick "isn't that cute" and ignore it.

It's fine to make a statement that you want him to prosecute, but the effort is futile. If we really wanted Bushco prosecuted, we'd pool our money, hire some bad ass bounty hunter to grab them off the street and zip them to Den Haag (The Hague) in a Gulfstream jet.

I for one would donate my milk money for the week to THAT effort.
