Spanish Court May Indict Bush Officials
The indictment and prosecution of Bush administration officials is becoming a reality.
"A Spanish court has agreed to consider opening a criminal case against six former Bush administration officials," the Associated Press confirmed.
Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith, former Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff David Addington, Justice Department officials John Yoo and Jay S. Bybee, and Pentagon lawyer William Haynes are under scrutiny for sanctioning torture in violation of the Geneva conventions. Under Spanish law, the courts have jurisdiction to prosecute war criminals and torturers anywhere in the world. A judge has already called on prosecutors to review the charges.
Clearly, millions of people worldwide stand with the mission of IndictBushNow and all those who are fighting for accountability.
First, you go after the smaller fish. Then, the bigger fish are easier to nail!

Doug Feith and Obfuscation
Doug Feith served as the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy in the Bush administration from July 2001 until he resigned from his position effective August 8, 2005.
Currently, he is hawking his book, ‘War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism’ a polemic refuting the generally accepted opinion that the Bush administration lied to the American people about the necessity of invading Iraq.
On the Daily Show, Feith stated that “I think the Administration had an honest belief in the things that it said. Some of the things that it said about the war that were part of the rationale for the war were wrong, but errors are not lies.”
True enough, Dougie, but the transmission of errors which are known to be errors is, most definitely, lying.
It has been shown and documented repeatedly that much of what Rummy, Cheney and other members of the administration were telling the Congress, the American people and the world to justify the invasion were known by them at the time to be falsehoods, deceptions and unsubstantiated conclusions.
Call it ‘cherry-picking’ or ‘stove-piping’ if you wish but what was offered as justification for war, my friend, was bald-faced obfuscation.
Lies.
One of the lies that Mr Feith continues to espouse is that Saddam Hussein was a threat to the region, to the United States and to Israel. This is malarkey. After the devastating Iraq/Iran war, Desert Storm and 10 years of crippling UN sanctions, Saddam was a threat to no one but his own people.
Lies.
Impeach Bush.
Impeach Cheney.
Indict and prosecute the war criminals and war profiteers.
Defend our Constitution from the onslaught of the neo-con fascists.
