Congressional investigations, with the hope the revelations will be so shocking (more shocking than what we have now??) prosecutions will be compelled and/or
international prosecutions based on the Geneva’s conventions requirement that war crimes prosecutions being non-discretionary.
Anyway we can get a petition asking Spain and other countries to prosecute?
BTW, have you seen the egregious essay atop the dkos rec list? http://www.dailykos.com/storyo… Disgusting.
live on C SPAN…
I’ve been over at DKos, but I guess everone is here!!! (But I posted the following there.) Aw, such timing!

There’s also a petition up at democrats.com — No Amnesty for Torturers — in less than 3 full days, there are 22347 signatures, and the goal was 10000.
Cong. Nadler is calling on Obama and Holder to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate and prosecute the war crimes of the Bush Administration, which includes some 55 signatures from his original letter to Muskasey. Jan Schakowsky is joining in the call for a Special Prosecutor, as well.
Cong. Nadler is now calling for the impeachment of Jay Bybee.
The National Lawyers’ Guild has filed a complaint Defense Department General Counsel William J. Haynes II, asking “the State Bar of California to investigate him and revoke his status as Registered In-House Counsel. Haynes is now an attorney with Chevron Corp. in San Ramon, Calif.”
Also, Major General Antonio Taguba called for “an independent commission to investigate war crimes committed by senior members of the Bush Administration in remarks in Ames Courtroom on Tuesday, April 14. The event was sponsored by Physicians for Human Rights and the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School.”
So, there is movement, but the pressure must be steady and fierce. Michael Ratner, when he spoke before the Inter-American Commission Human Rights, in Washington D.C. The issue: “Accountability for Violations of Human Rights in the United States,” on March 20, 2009, stated that the Statute of Limitations on torture has only a window of one and a half years to prosecute. War crimes, under International laws have no statute of limitations, however.
No Pulitzer Prize for us last year, and no Pulitzer Prize for us again this year.
Pulitzer Prize winners
If we don’t crank it up a notch or two, we’re never going to win a Pulitzer Prize. I don’t want to name any names, but we might have had a shot this year if the author of Iglesia would have finished it and wowed the Pulitzer Committee with a final scene in North Dakota of staggering literary insight and genius.
Petition calling for an Investigation

weenie.buttsmore mild moderate folks. Ill add these to my Thursday Diary.
