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.”

Omar is a Guantanamo detainee (prisoner). He is being held there by the United States of America without trial, and he is accused of terrorism, but doesn’t even know why. To learn more about Omar watch the following movie.

Save Omar - Justice for Omar Deghayes

Omar is not the only person being held this way, without rights, without a trial, without access to any information, or even access to evidence to prove why they are being held. There are many more just like him at Guantanamo. For reference read an excerpt of an article from the Guardian, a United Kingdom (UK) Paper.

No Fairytales Allowed

Lawyer Clive Stafford Smith has 36 clients in Guantanamo and has visited many times. In this powerful extract from a new book he argues that secrecy in the camp is a disease.

Former “detainee” Binyam Mohamed [British resident arrested in Pakistan] viewed the whole military commission process as a con, a lie that was meant to deceive the world. In June 2006 the supreme court said the same, in more temperate terms, and struck down the commissions as illegal. It rejected Donald Rumsfeld’s assurance that the trials would be fair, accusing the administration of “jettisoning” legal rights.

End of Excerpt

Hundreds of terrorist suspects have been kept without trial and investigation on the American naval base in Guantanamo Bay since 2002. More than 750 prisoners served their terms there over the past period. And there are about 400 prisoners there today. Newsmen have repeatedly reported about humiliations the inmates of the Guantanamo Bay prison are subjected to, about the ill treatment of prisoners, about the use of tortures and about religious abuse that have become the norm there. No accusations have been brought against them.

And this is an object of concern for the world community. Despite the existing decision on the establishment of special tribunals for the inmates of the Guantanamo Bay prison, the situation has undergone no changes at all.
