ANDOVER LAW SCHOOL TO SPONSOR BUSH WAR CRIMES TRIAL
A conference to plan the prosecution of President Bush and other high administration officials for war crimes will be held September 13-14 at the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover. To “go to the gallows for their crimes would be a powerful lesson to future American leaders.”
“This is not intended to be a mere discussion of violations of law that have occurred,” said convener Lawrence Velvel, dean and cofounder of the school. “It is, rather, intended to be a planning conference at which plans will be laid and necessary organizational structures 
set up, to pursue the guilty as long as necessary and, if need be, to the ends of the Earth.”
“We must try to hold Bush administration leaders accountable in courts of justice,” Velvel said. “And we must insist on appropriate punishments, including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon top German and Japanese war-criminals in the 1940s.”
“For Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and John Yoo to spend years in jail or go to the gallows for their crimes would be a powerful lesson to future American leaders,” Velvel said.

Law school dean’s conference on Bush, war crimes
Law School Dean Calls Conference to Plan Bush War Crimes Prosecution
“More than two-thirds of Americans disapprove of George W. Bush’s performance as president, according to the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll.” Latest Bush approval rating is 28%
Almost everyone hates him. He has destroyed the constitution, the economy, Iraq, and our government, not to mention the fact that he is directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of soldiers, and war crimes in Iraq.
I wonder why his approval rating isn’t lower. Who exactly are the misguided 28% who still believe in him? He should be brought up for treason, as well as war crimes for what he has done.
All I can say is I hope he gets prosecuted and tried for treason, as well as war crimes. I hope they all do. And death for treason is death by hanging. To “go to the gallows for their crimes would be a powerful lesson to future American leaders.”
After all, it was Bush who said about the Constitution: “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper.”

What a scandalous image…is that true? Anyway, even the Americans I have met also hate him, but numbers are not enough to combat power… too bad. Where is democracy?
Yes it’s true, sadly enough. I have several pictures of the president with his middle finger up, all different, and even a video. It’s sad. It’s disgusting. It’s real. It’s my country’s president, showing just how immoral he really is.
I am not a supporter of Bush by any means, but I can’t help but wonder how much we as citizens of the United States are at fault for the actions of Bush as he himself is responsible for his own actions? We have a voice, most of us don’t use it, and so Bush is allowed to make choices for us like going to war? Where was this conference against war crimes last year, 3 years ago, or in 2002 when we were killing hundreds of people everyday? I wonder is too little too late ever really too little too late? Is this conference too late? “Better late than never!” Will it really show future leaders that we will not stand for such crimes? or is it really saying we will stand for it until you no longer hold the office?
@Jonathan You said, “Where was this conference against war crimes last year, 3 years ago, or in 2002 when we were killing hundreds of people everyday?”
And I am sure there are many others. Have you noticed that there is no media coverage of this? The mass media is full of propaganda, and lies. Do some looking, google war crimes and George Bush. You will come up with a lot more stuff than just this.
Back in 2004 A citizens’ tribunal in Tokyo found U.S. President George W. Bush guilty of war crimes for attacking civilians with indiscriminate weapons and other arms during the U.S.led anti-terrorism operations in Afghanistan in 2001. Citizens find Bush guilty of Afghan war crimes
This wanting him brought to trial for genocide and war crimes is nothing new. There is just a media blackout on it.
Figures…I hate propaganda!…I recently read a couple articles in The New Yorker about Bush, Iran and the secret campaign that will drive Iran to start a fight (for lack of better words). Millions of dollars being spent on this campaign, which would only increase the list of war crimes and genocide. Perhaps I ought to keep my comments more personal…that “I” have not made my voice heard or taken any action, but I still can’t help but notice that the voices that are speaking out are not speaking loud enough for change to occur.
@ Jonathan, I think voices are too loud enough. But the reality sucks…as I have said, numbers cannot overturn the power. As long as not 100 percent of the americans oppose the administration, i dont think the war can be stopped. It is a business wih gigantic profits and lives must be wasted to gain the stake.
Another thing to blame, as per my opinion is the catholic church that is powerful enough to stop things…. why not use the power to stop the war? praying in the masses will not do nothing… a solid action is needed. I am not in the us, i live in europe but what can i say? just an observer around ..
Would also like to see all co-conspirators of Bush’s war crimes dancing from the end of a rope, such as Nancy Pelosi (Joe Lieberman in drag).
Bush is the worst president in American history. Bush facilitated the 9/11 attacks. Subsequently, Bush lied to Congress and the American people relative to the reasons for invading Iraq. Bush purposefully misled Congress and the American people. Then, Bush murdered more than 4,000 United States service members. And Bush wounded more than 30,000 United States service members. In torturing prisoners of war, Bush patently violated the Geneva Convention. Bush unlawfully wiretapped United States citizens. In using “signing statements” to challenge hundreds of laws passed by Congress, Bush violated the Constitution. Bush has ignored global warming. Bush is guilty of criminal negligence relative to the response to Hurricane Katrina. Bush disobeys our democratic values and Constitution. Bush is a disgrace to the United States.
Indeed, Bush should be prosecuted for war crimes.
