"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.….All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

"A Few Bad Apples .... " ~ Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales
Uploaded by THINKFilmNY
Youtube of Alberto Gonzales
In George W Bush's first Inaugural Address he said:
"Much time has passed since Jefferson arrived for his inauguration. The years and changes accumulate. But the themes of this day he would know: our nation's grand story of courage and its simple dream of dignity."
Dignity is not something that describes the United States after Bagram in Afghanistan, Abu_Ghraib in Iraq and Guantanamo in Cuba. (A Growing Afghan Prison Rivals Bleak Guantanamo)
After seeing Alex Gibney's documentary Taxi to the Dark Side today with the free on demand feature, it was clear to me that George W Bush, Richard Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld need to be indicted. It is clear that they are criminals. I knew this before seeing the film, but it is so potent when seeing this documentary film. The three of them, as well as other Bush appointees have broken the U.S. Constitution and the oath they swore to. They have made us the United States citizens amoral bystanders. We have a corrupt government. The world knows it. The United States of America is bankrupt of accountability internationally.
There is no way that the behavior clearly shown in Taxi to the Dark Side wouldn't make the the USA targets of hate. Before the Bush administration, there were other acts done by the USA government that drew distaste and hatred toward the USA, but the Bush-Cheney administration has a case so deservingly merited to be tried in a court of justice somewhere. If not initiated by our apparently morally bankrupt congress, perhaps the International Criminal Court will indict the players. The buck stops at the administration's branch. And Bush and Cheney should not get away with their crimes.
Dennis Kucinich has been calling for Bush's impeachment. And you can sign the petition. Here is the text:
Kucinich Petition
WHEREAS, in his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed abuses of power.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that President George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and Commander in Chief, and subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States and that he be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Personally, I believe Congress has been derelict to the extreme in their duty to oversee the Administration's criminal activity. International law (Geneva Convention) has been broken, as well as national law. I would like to see the Intermational Criminal Court (ICC) look into the crimes done by the Administration. According to the text at this ICC link victims "have the possibility under the Statute to present their views and observations before the Court".The Book: Impeach the President - The Case Against Bush and Cheney
George W Bush gives a tour of the Oval Office - this is worth a look just for the irony of his attempt to appear....well, I'll leave it to you to decide.
Dick Cheney gives a tour of Vice President office.
George W Bush and Dick Cheney have been in office since January 20, 2001.
Donald Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defense overseeing the army, navy, air force, and marines from 2001 to December 2006 for the Bush-Cheney administration.

Intel ops to expand at Bagram prison
Posted : Thursday Sep 18, 2008
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon plans to expand intelligence operations at its main prison in Afghanistan, records and interviews with military officials show.
Interrogators and analysts are being sought for a bigger Bagram prison scheduled to open next year. They will be hired to question prisoners and provide intelligence that can be used on the battlefield, according to contract solicitations reviewed by USA Today. The Army also is seeking a “trained Mullah” to conduct Islamic services for detainees and advise U.S. officials on religious issues...
“One thing we have not taken advantage of is just trying to understand what is motivating people to join the insurgency,” he said.
The new $60 million facility will also include more space for detainee religious services, education programs and family visits.
