The last terrorist I seem to recall cut off the heads of their captured or drug them through the streets untill their limbs fell off and made a nice video to share with the world.
Maybe we could give them cake and icecream and play love songs so they will begin to love us and tell their information.

If Bush is charged with war crimes we will have no buisness stepping a foot outside this country, every country will scream war crimes every time anything happens and the President will fail to protect the USA because he will be afraid to make a desision.

You would think conservatives would be all about holding people accountable for their actions, I guess I'm wrong there.

I seem to recall that we behave with more dignity and honor than the terrorists do. If you want to act like Jack Bauer, perhaps you should find a country that doesn't prohibit torture in its laws.

Maybe you should take your own advise because we do allow interogation and it wasn't Bush who said waterboarding was ok it was our judicial system, yes it was sent to the sumpreme court where it was ok'd ny judges.
If everyones so happy Obama is our new leader why don't they listen to him, this has been brought up to him and he wants no part in a trial for Bush, he is smarter than that. The only people who can be taken on charges are the Judges who gave the ok they said it was legal to waterboard and anyone acting upon that was within our law.

Get over war crimes? Not on your life, and the rest of the world isn't going to "get over it" either. Bush and his little neocon war gang are going to have to plan their overseas travel very carefully from now on, just like Henry Kissinger has been doing ever since the British grabbed Pinochet in 1998.

If they ignore the UN, more power to them.

If you think any president would allow another country to come in here and grab a former president regardless of party your nuts. I would be first in line to stand in front of President Bush or if it were it were Clinton Obama etc. You don't come in here and take Presidents.

Also as some one who was in the military I don't blame the death of my brothers on the President I blame it on terrorists who are to cowardly to fight us face to face. Instead they will use women and children as acceptable losses if it means they kill just one US solider.
