From President-Elect Obama’s Change.org

“Ideas For Change In America”

Appoint a Special Prosecutor for the Crimes of the Bush Administration:

   President-elect Obama recently said, “if I found out that there were high officials who knowingly, consciously broke existing laws, engaged in coverups of those crimes with knowledge forefront, then I think a basic principle of our Constitution is nobody above the law.”

   Attorney General-designate Eric Holder recently said top Bush Administration officials “authorized the use of torture, approved of secret electronic surveillance of American citizens, secretly detained American citizens without due process of law, denied the Writ of Habeus Corpus to hundreds of accused enemy combatants, and authorized the use of procedures that both violate international law and the United States Constitution.”

   The Bush administration has refused to investigate its own crimes and President Bush may issue blanket pardons before he leaves. President Obama must appoint a Special Prosecutor – ideally Patrick Fitzgerald – to fully investigate these crimes and prosecute those responsible to demonstrate that we are truly a Nation of Laws and no one – including the President – is above the law.

  1. I just signed the petition, in fact.  Have to leave for work in a couple of minutes…has anybody contacted digby or Jane Hamsher to include the badge on their sites?  I assume that buhdy or ek or somebody is in contact with Big Orange.

    Oh, yeah, and I’ll bet Crooks & Liars would get on board, too.

  2. Here it is in the right column.

    I’d probably want land in Paraguay too, if I was Bush. 😉

    if i include the code in an email blast, will the badge show up?  ditto on making comments on sites like dkos, etc.

  9. Senator Levin says indictments could be on the way:

    “…In case you missed it, Dick Cheney recently admitted to authorizing torture, which is a war crime. While making an appearance on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show this past Wednesday, Senator Carl Levin said that Cheney’s admission was nothing short of a confession…Levin spoke on the need for further investigations, and the ultimate necessity for indictments in order to hold those responsible for torture policies accountable. Levin was hopeful that the Obama administration would take some major steps on the issue, seeing as how the current Justice Department is not willing to do so. He also talked about the need for an independent commission that could be appointed by the Obama administration to examine the role of the CIA in the treatment of U.S. detainees, since their role has not yet been made clear. Levin concluded by saying that, with all the facts, they may or may not lead to indictments, or possibly civil action…”

     

    I’m not sure if the Petition is only being forwarded to Holder/Obama?  It might be helpful to forward that petition to members of Congress too, including Levin, Conyers, etc.

    BushBoy managed to say that without a single slip up… go figure!

    Sigh… What was it ol’ Joe Stalin said?

    For some people, four walls are three too many

    The badge and html are up on my main site now.

    Here’s MY take on what should be done, but jail time will have to suffice, because this IS NOT a dictatorship.

    Apparently, George W. Bush, EX-Prez, will be moving to Dallas and maybe later, we’ll have to send military Special Operations Group ops to his nation-like spread in Paraguay where they will engage BlackwaterParaguay in a bloodletting firefight, RENDIT him…

    In other words stuff him in that ol’ Gulfstream V blindfolded, strapped to a waterboard… Bring him to trial for TREASON, and… on the gallows (Where I’m SURE he won’t show the same grace and composure as Saddam Hussein) we’ll all stand around him chanting, no, not “…Muqtada Muqtada Muqtada…” but “…Wellstone Morse Kucinich…”.

    Be SURE to bring your cellie camera for a quick pic when the trap door opens and get yer souvenir, a precious memento of Global Justice being exacted on an appropriate party… George W. Bush.)
