Prosecute Bush and Snow for Revealing "war secrets"?

Question

The New York times is being hounded by the conservative corporate media at the orders of Dick "5 deferments" Cheney and George "Special national guard appointment" W.Bush.

The Times re-revealed (repeated) information which a few years ago dripped from the lips of Bush and Treasury Secretary Snow in their orwellian news conferences. Bush stood in front of the camera and told America how we are financially tracking "terrorists assets" and Snow went on to elaborate.

Should Bush and Snow be Prosecuted for Hurting the "War own Terra"?

Thanks Tyrus : let me correct my question, Should Bush, Snow and Cheney be facing the death penalty for their commie treason.

Answer 1

Freedom of the press.
The public should wake up and realize the inconsistencies of what this administration constantly spouts. They 'leak' cia agent names, but claim the NY Times is committing treason for reporting on the governments policy of tracking assets of suspected terrorists. We all know they've been doing this. It was announced by the administration that they were doing this. When they announced it it was to make us feel warm and comfortable that our government was taking care of the problem and looking out for us. The media needs to start reminding the public of these inconsistencies and start challenging the press secretary to be accountable. But that would put them in the dog house and they couldn't get any ratings if they can't get into the White House Press room to report.

Answer 2

The Justice Department is an arm of the executive branch, and the GOP still controls both the House and Senate, so the only chance of investigation and/or prosecution of the administration is if the Dems take over either the House (which I believe they will--and start impeachment proceedings regardless of whether or not they should) or the Senate in November. But right now, it's not going to happen. But a lot could change after the elections.

Answer 3

I knew they were "following the money" before the story broke the other day. The Bush Administration has said they were.

I knew they were secretly listening in ... before THAT story broke.

That's just how "Intellagence" works! I think even the dumbest thieves know that.

I knew the Geneva Convention Rules were tossed out the window, so I knew that would come back to bite us in the a__.

The Bush Administration have been pushing this fear thing way too far. 911 isn't the first time America has been hit, but it's the first time America has been brainwashed to be Fearfull !

What secret? Only secret is where Osama is. Dude hides as good as Jimmy Hoffa.

Answer 4

Yes, there certainly is a case for their detention. Of course they sniffed the loophole in the UN resolution which reserved them the right to attack if Iraq was viewed as a threat to the west. They will simply blame faulty intelligence for influencing their decision.. intelligence which they probably knew was faulty, as they almost certainly planned the invasion years in advance. My guess is that theyd wriggle their way out out of lack of clear evidence. However, I think a clearer case for war crimes is illegal extraordinary rendition programmes in the middle east and across the world. There is no doubt that the Geneva conventions were routinely breached in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo and Rumsfeld's support for these torture programmes is undeniable. All the evidence shows that these breaches were not only known but organised and authorised by the highest level. Had this been a minor country with little influence and minor economy, there is little doubt warrants would be issued and sanctions would follow. Of course its a touch more difficult when dealing with the worlds foremost superpower and for this reason alone it is highly unlikely anything will follow. In retrospect however, Bush can stew the fact that many people will think he deserved to be prosecuted for his arrogant and wreckless disregard for international law and his own species.

Answer 5

Nether Iraq , or Iran had anything to do with 911 , and there were no weapon's of mass destruction , Bush used this as a ploy in order to justify going to war over Iraq's oil ...

Censure the NY Times and screen all N.Y. Times employees for illegals and put them on a moon launch as in flight repairmen.
