apparently, since shes got some sort of spine, shes more likely to be mistaken for someone other than a senator..

Shortly after, U.S. troops began arriving at Mariscal Estigarribia air base, which is very close to Bush’s land. I’m sure these troops could easily be replaced by Blackwater mercenaries in the future. Might be tough to extradite when a private army could be used to protect that person(s) from extradition.

Remember, one of the Shrub mantras is that business is doing a fine job and govt needs to get off its back. Result is lower inspections (worked for packaged Spinach and American Airlines. Oh, and that meatbacking plant that was caught bo the animal rights folks – *NOT* THE GOVT – butchering downed cattle…….)

Ghost,

The Military Commissions Act of 2006 prevents the U.S.Government from prosecuting War Crimes. Bush & Co. can walk.

The MCA limited, but did not prevent the prosecution of war crimes by the U.S. However, considering the present Attorney General who has refused to even follow his duties for subpoenas, it won’t happen while the Bush administration is still in office and he’s replaced with someone who actually believes in the Rule of Law. In addition, large segments (if not all) of the MCA can and should be repealed when we have larger majorities in the Senate and House in 2009.

I am so angry that we are investigating other ways to prosecute. If the House did their job (without saying “SO” and giving us all the Bronx cheer) this would not be necessary.

“The adoption of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, defined in Section 6 of the act grave abuses of Common Article 3 to only include torture, cruel or inhumane treatment, murder, mutilation or maiming, intentional causing serious bodily harm, rape, sexual assault or abuse, and the taking of hostages, thereby limiting the scope of the original law.”

The lie that changing from carbon based energy to clean renewable energy will hurt the economy must be challenged. Especially when the opposite is true. Carbon based energy is ruining the planet and killing the economy. Clean renewable energy is the ONLY HOPE for the future.

There’s only one thing holding back this world-changing revolution…the political power of multinational oil companies.

Thanks 2mil. All the pieces and parts seem to be in place for the Bush crime family to follow the footsteps of the fleeing Nazis to prevent ANY prosecution for crimes committed
_____________________________________________

I’ve been predicting for at least two years that if an Impeachment investigation were initiated (or perhaps merely hinted at) Cheney and Bush would immediately flee the country.

I could successfully prosecute then and I’m not an attorney. That’s how much evidence there is of their crimes.
_____________________________________________

In a fair system, my grandmother could successfully prosecute them — and she’s 96 years old and hard of hearing. However, in the world we have, the Republican party marches in lockstep with them, the Democrats have no spine to stand up to them, the entire Justice Department is in their pocket, and the media are their lapdogs.

Cheney and Bush would only flee if they were in the scope sights of somebody they could neither buy off, intimidate, nor discredit. And people like that are all too rare these days.

Now we know where their private planes would be taking them: Paraguay.

George W. Bush and/or George H.W. Bush bought hundreds of thousands of acres in Paraguay, adjoining a similar spread owned by the Unification Church’s Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Both massive parcels are hidden within a remote South American wilderness atop the world’s biggest freshwater aquifer adjoining a secret U.S. military airbase. Oh, and there’s a special non-extradition law to protect the Bush/Moon families as they enjoy their old age and run drug/weapons smuggling rings, safe from American justice. And they’ll own all the drinking water in the world, or something.

“better” for WHO?

In Washington we have our this clown Tim Eyman who makes six figures a year passing initiative after initiative which don’t stand up to court muster, but clog up the courts and the legislature by making it difficult for anyone to know what the rules are at any given moment. It’s a brilliant strategy, for Eyman, since he can design the bills which are clearly unconstitutional and then complain about the “activist” judges who keep knocking them down. His supporters’ collective lack of intelligence allows him to keep milking them for more money.
