Spanish Court May Indict Bush Officials
The indictment and prosecution of Bush administration officials is becoming a reality.
"A Spanish court has agreed to consider opening a criminal case against six former Bush administration officials," the Associated Press confirmed.
Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former Undersecretary of Defense Douglas, former Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff David Addington, Justice Department officials John Yoo and Jay S. Bybee, and Pentagon lawyer William Haynes are under scrutiny for sanctioning torture in violation of the Geneva conventions. Under Spanish law, the courts have jurisdiction to prosecute war criminals and torturers anywhere in the world. A judge has already called on prosecutors to review the charges.
Clearly, millions of people worldwide stand with the mission of IndictBushNow and all those who are fighting for accountability.
This world wide movement will lead to criminal prosecution for the crimes committed by Bush, Cheney and others. This first step is a direct result of the pressure brought by you and millions of other people in the United States and around the world.
