If these victims need a donation to help with legal costs, let me know. I don’t have much but they’ll get all the help I can muster.
There’s no reason those in the US who are suspected of criminal acts should not be brought to trial… that includes anyone in any position from TOP to bottom.
Tell Rumsfeld to set a good example and give himself up. If he’s “done nothing wrong he’s got nothing to fear.” (Rumsfeld would be the first person to use that line on those being illegally held in his stinking prisons… let’s see how it feels for the shoe to be on the other foot). If convicted, he should have to spend the rest of unnatural life in Abu Ghraib, naked and bent double… and on a live 24/7 webcam where we can all watch him.

I hope they build an air tight case. I hope we eventually decide whether to extridite these guys so someone can obtain a little justice.

YES!!! I agree with every proposed indictment listed...but they didn’t go nearly far enough up the chain of command. Hopefully, the new Congress will take it upon themselves to investigate the crimes of this administration, but if they don’t, it is good to know that there is an alternative ready and willing to take up the case.
