World opinion has been gravitating towards trying Bush for war crimes, and today, a judge in Spain has added his opinion. This comes just two days after an ICC official stated that both Bush and Blair may eventually face war crimes charges.

Ive heard several countries wanting to do this. Spain is the first time I hear this about. Not surprised. I think the US should at least have some kind of transparancy week about the Bush term and investigate and find out what really happend.
The reality may be worse than people think. The US people should demand investiogation. Imagine if he is a traitor, a seboteur and goes unpunished. Imagine a president for the first time receiving death penalty for treason. More articles about the ICC and warcrime charges btw:

There are many things to be pissed at Bush about and there do need to be investigations, IMO. It is clear now that the information before the war was in the very least massaged to lead people to conclude war, the entirety of the war has been mishandled from day 1, things like Patriot Act and Military Commissions Acts are inexcusable expansions of government (though the Congress is at fault for those too). The President must be accountable to We the People, he must be constrained by the Constitution, he is responsible for his actions and must accept the consequences of them.

But in the end, other countries and the ICC do not hold any sovereignty over the US.

And the LEGAL basis for such prosecutions would be?

This is purely political - nothing more, nothing less.

Your entire post was pretty spot on. I do love this line though......

Its not political, its ethically and morally right. Its just simply the right thing to do.

What was the LEGAL basis for invading Iraq and hanging Saddam Hussein?
