Why Bush Must be Captured and Tried
"As the new year unfolds, one unmistakable fact remains unreported in America’s submissive mainstream media: our President George W. Bush is a war criminal. Any attempt to state this obvious fact is ignored and any Democratic Presidential hopeful who suggests we repudiate the new Bush doctrine of American imperialism and instead, work for world peace, is dismissed as a “vanity” candidate and told to drop out of the race.

<snip>

From legitimate self-defense, the Bush administration suddenly resurrected the discredited Nazi doctrine of “preventive war” with Bush and his collaborators arguing that in the battle of “good” versus “evil” the United States had the right to attack any country that might pose a future threat to our nation.

<snip>

A few voices in the Democratic Presidential primary have attempted to raise substantial issues concerning U.S. foreign policy but the mainstream media is obsessed with its “politics as horse race” mentality focusing mostly on who is in the lead. So, while the talking heads analyze the post-Saddam capture “Bush bounce” and predict that no President with a favorable rating over 60% going into a presidential election year has ever lost, they miss the point that if they actually reported that world consensus holds their president to be a war criminal, then maybe his rating wouldn’t be so high.

Perhaps the most egregious example of a journalist trying to silence debate on the Bush doctrine was ABC debate moderator Ted Koppel who suggested that peace candidates Dennis Kucinich, Ambassador Carol Mosley-Braun and Rev. Al Sharpton should drop out of the debate. When Kucinich directly challenged Koppel suggesting that it wasn’t the media’s role to define who should be in or out of a presidential race prior to the people casting votes, ABC retaliated by pulling the fulltime reporter covering the Kucinich campaign."

5. The entire Bush family
is a criminal empire.

The RICO act should be used to shut down ALL of their business activities and freeze all of their funds (just like when Grandpappy Bush was financing Hitler's army against the US)

Until Bush and all the members of his administration are in jail, the word 'justice' will mean very little in America.
