My takeaway is that waterboarding was an aberration that will not be tried again. If it was that effective and harmless and arguably legal in some deluded minds, there would be no reason not to waterboard basically every person from which you wish to gather "actionable intelligence."Quote:

Quote:
George W. Bush and Tony Blair were both found guilty of War Crimes, in a Malaysian War Crimes Tribunal. The Kuala Lampur War Crimes Tribunal, as reported here by Ottawacitizen.com, issued a statement in which they said…’The Tribunal deliberated over the case and decided unanimously that the first accused George Bush and second accused Blair have been found guilty of crimes against peace”
This comes after two years of investigation in which it was found… “The evidence showed that the drums of wars were being beaten long before the invasion. The accused in their own memoirs have admitted their own intention to invade Iraq regardless of international law”
The war crimes tribunal was initiated by Former Malaysian Premier Mahathir Mohamad, who is a fierce critic of the Iraq War. The hearings took place over a period of four days and the guilty decision was a unanimous one. The seven member panel chaired was by former Malaysian Court Judge Abdul Kadir Sulaiman. The panel also consisted of five judges who have Academic backgrounds. The prosecution team was headed by two prominent legal personalities with strong professional legal credentials: Gurdeal Singh Nijar and Francis Boyle.
Bush’s and Blair’s names should now be entered in a register for war criminals. The Tribunal will also pursue their being tried by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The Kuala Lampur Tribunal is being hailed in many quarters as being a champion for the cause by it’s great courage in standing up to powerful Western interests who have downplayed the crimes of Bush and Blair by not prosecuting them in their respective countries.
So:
Where was this court? Malaysia
Who commissioned it? Some Malaysian dude with an axe to grind.
What jurisdiction do they have? None.
If I was George Bush would I leave the country? NO
Would it be legal for Malaysia to hire mercenaries to go after a war criminal? why not
Will Bush and Cheney someday be found guilty of crimes against humanity? for the sake of our country lets hope so....
Is Chumpy underplaying the significance of this case? that's what Chumpy does
If I was George Bush would I leave the country? Sure. Why not?
Would it be legal for Malaysia to hire mercenaries to go after a war criminal? What does the actual present government of Malaysia have to do with this?
Will Bush and Cheney someday be found guilty of crimes against humanity? No.
Is Chumpy underplaying the significance of this case? Impossible.

Reuters reports that Amnesty International has called for the arrest of George W. Bush during his visit to Africa later this month. The international civil rights group is claiming that the former President is guilty of human rights abuses for his authorization of the use of waterboarding and other torture techniques in his “War on Terror.”
