So, CCR & their European counterpart haven't given up on a torture case against W.

angel d's diary ::

You think that just because President Obama is afraid of the consequences of investigating the criminal Bush administrations State Sponsored Torture program that the former President and his henchmen are off the hook? Well think again. And this is not just on theoretically either. I’ll have a lot more detail on this on Monday, but here is what I got from a friend of mine at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR)

President Bush was supposed to be in Geneva on Monday. He was going to address a group at the Hotel President Wilson. It was to be one of those big dollar events where the Ex-President speaks to a rah-rah crowd for a big passel of cash. That is now canceled, and just canceled this evening. Why is that?

Well you see the CCR and its allies in Europe had been preparing a bit of a surprise for the 43 President of the United States and unindicted torturer. They had been working for months to bring two complaints against George W. Bush under the International Conventions Against Torture. One in the name of Al Jazeera reporter Sami el-Hajj and a current CIA detainee Majid Khan, who is to this day held at Guantanamo Bay without charge.

CCR and the European Center of Constitutional and Human Rights have put together a 2.500 page case against the criminal President Bush and had intended to file it Monday when Bush was in Geneva. They had been keeping the a pretty tight lid on this, talking to reporters under a news embargo and preparing a press conference. Some how it seems that it has leaked and lo and behold, W suddenly can’t attend and the event is being canceled.

Pretty soon, he's going to be reduced to visiting Henry Kissinger, and neither one of them will be allowed around decent people anywhere. I'm glad the CCR is doing this, and they seem to have a realistic understanding of just how much help they can expect from the current administration. (Hint: Zero)

and I haven't even checked if there's a FB page set up to move his memoir to True Crime. But I trust there is or will be shortly. :)

are they preparing a bit of a surprise against Obama also?

for not investigating and prosecuting Bush. And yeah, they're holding prisoners without charge and have said they will use rendition (which is kidnapping) and seem to be running at least one black site at Bagram.

without charges and no trial?

He's realized he can't leave the country and maybe even Texas.

What a waste of space he is.

aka TRAITORS to what they called our Constitution "...a goddamn piece of paper...", these TRAITOROUS CRIMINALS that sent our troops into a "global war on terror" a decade ago based on a CONSPIRACY OF LIES with the result that the number one cause of death of our troops is now self-destruction, simultaneous with the continued growth of feudalistic "private military/intelligence" companies comprised of murderers, torturers, rapists and sexual predators, human traffickers etc.-it's beyond shame that the effort to bring them to justice is coming from outside our borders.

Yeah, "...money trumps peace sometimes.." but the times, they are a'changing.
