UN torture envoy: US must prosecute Bush lawyersVIENNA (AP) - The U.S. is obligated by a United Nations convention to prosecute Bush administration lawyers who allegedly drafted policies that approved the use of harsh interrogation tactics against terrorism suspects, the U.N.'s top anti-torture envoy said Friday.
Earlier this week, President Barack Obama left the door open to prosecuting Bush administration officials who devised the legal authority for gruesome terror-suspect interrogations. He had previously absolved CIA officers from prosecution.
Yeah, we're gonna go the third world route??
Hell we didn't even try Robert E Lee after the Civil War! Nixon didn't go after LBJ, Ford didn't go after Nixon, Reagan didn't go after Carter...
But no, Mr. Hope and Change, this is what you people really want? It's over folks, if we start prosecuting previous administrations...
