Godwin didn't cover up the slaughter and mass burial of 2000 prisoners of war. Dick Cheney did.
The bad man will not go away by wishing it so. You have to defend yourself.
Attorney General Eric Holder is strongly leaning towards naming a Special Prosecutor to investigate Bush/Cheney. Now is the time to Yell Louder! Call or E-Mail AG Holder today. Now is the time to demand justice!
Every single American should be made to watch this video
During WWII American soldiers went into the German towns and forced the towns folk to look upon the horror and suffering that had taken place in their midst. They were not permitted to look away. They were forced to see what had been done by others such as they.
Today in America we need to do the same thing. We can not ignore crimes of this nature. We can not allow our political opposition to literally get away with murder. Please watch this video and then e-mail it to someone else. We can not allow crimes such as these to go unpunished.
The concept of the rule of law can not exist except as an absolute. One hole pops the balloon. Just as a balloon, the rule of law is permeable, things pass in and out, it breathes new life to adapt to the culture it exists in, but always there are boundaries, the place where thin air stops and a wall comes up that you can not break. The rule of law is elastic, but it can only be stretched so far.
Much like a balloon, the rule of law can break down. It can go POP! We see the hatred in our society being drummed up by the Oligarchs who would fleece us with no empathy. We see the racism, the sexism, the divide and conquer tactic of fear thine enemy.
What we must always remember, is that there is nothing to fear but fear itself.
I say we should have full investigations into the War Crimes of Bush/Cheney. Has our nation fallen so far that we stood up to Adolf Hitler during WWII but we fear to stand up to Dick Cheney? I refuse to believe so.
Article 121
Every death or serious injury of a prisoner of war caused or suspected to have been caused by a sentry, another prisoner of war, or any other person, as well as any death the cause of which is unknown, shall be immediately followed by an official enquiry by the Detaining Power.
A communication on this subject shall be sent immediately to the Protecting Power. Statements shall be taken from witnesses, especially from those who are prisoners of war, and a report including such statements shall be forwarded to the Protecting Power.
If the enquiry indicates the guilt of one or more persons, the Detaining Power shall take all measures for the prosecution of the person or persons responsible.

You can make your voice heard by contacting the AG's Office and helping shape his opinion by requesting a Special Prosecutor. Now more than ever we need to Yell Louder!
What did we vote for if not for representatives and an Executive branch that listened to their constituents?
And how are they going to hear us if we don't YELL LOUDER!
Well, now that yelling can really make a difference.
Demand justice.
