It seems the world is starting to rise up against the Bush
Administration after the release of the torture report. Yesterday, news
broke that a human rights organization in Germany, with the aide of an
international lawyer, were filing charges against the entire Bush administration for illegal, torturous practices on an innocent man. Now, it’s hitting here in America. The New York Times is calling for the investigation and indictment of the Bush Adminstration for war crimes.
In their blistering, hard-hitting Monday morning article “Prosecute Torturers and Their Bosses,” the New York Times editorial
board is asking that the Department of Justice prosecute those who
“committed torture and other serious crimes,” which includes former Vice
President Dick Cheney and other major officials within the Bush Admin.
The board referred to the torture practices as “a vast criminal
conspiracy, under color of law, to commit torture and other serious
crimes.”
…any credible investigation should include former Vice
President Dick Cheney; Mr. Cheney’s chief of staff, David Addington; the
former C.I.A. director George Tenet; and John Yoo and Jay Bybee, the
Office of Legal Counsel lawyers who drafted what became known as the
torture memos,” the editorial reads. “There are many more names that
could be considered, including Jose Rodriguez Jr., the C.I.A. official
who ordered the destruction of the videotapes; the psychologists who
devised the torture regimen; and the C.I.A. employees who carried out
that regimen.”
