In the USA and around the world, an increasing cry to prosecute BushCo and underlings with war crimes



Personal Message:
Bush Admin plays CYA - to protect the guilty, including themselves. (CYA= cover your ass)

What do you do when you have committed crimes and are threatened with charges? It is simple - pass laws making the guilty unaccountable for their crimes.

    Well, PT, we the people of the rank and file are bound to oaths and laws. But you know who is The Decider, and he decides who shall be accountable and who shall not, and what is legal for whom and what is not. It is as he decides it is.

    Americans MUST get that Patriot Act repealed.
