Here's a great op-ed about why we can't allow these war criminal to roam the earth free ...

This administration did
more than commit crimes. It waged war against the law itself. It transformed the Justice Department into a vehicle for voter suppression, and it also summarily dismissed the U.S. attorneys who attempted to investigate its wrongdoing. It issued wartime contracts to substandard vendors with inside connections, and it also defunded efforts to police their performance. It
spied on church groups and
political protesters, and it also introduced a sweeping surveillance program that was so
clearly illegal that virtually the entire senior echelon of the Justice Department threatened to (but did not in fact) tender their resignations over it. It waged
an illegal and disastrous war, and it did so by falsely representing to Congress and to the American public nearly every piece of intelligence it had on Iraq...
There can be
no doubt that torture is illegal. There is
no wartime exception for torture,
nor is there an exception for prisoners or enemy combatants, nor is there an exception for enhanced methods. The authors of the Constitution forbade cruel and unusual punishment, the details of that
prohibition were made explicit in the Geneva Conventions (No physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion, may be inflicted on prisoners of war to secure from them information of any kind whatever), and that definition has in turn become subject to U.S. enforcement through the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the U.S. Criminal Code, and several acts of Congress.1
Get it you bean head bushies? NO EXCEPTION ... I don't care what your asshole leader told you ... they lied and you of course fell for it ...
We can not abandon this rule of law ...
