This opinion piece makes an impassioned, if one sided, argument for holding Bush administration officials accountable for war crimes; however, the contention that there is a ground swell of support for doing so is certainly at odds with my observations.

As usual ‘The Nation’ comes up with superior journalism. The reason impeachment is off the table is because Americans weren’t the ones tortured–and many believe torture of suspected terrorists wasn’t reprehensible. Furthermore, in order to Americans to become outraged about the unconstitutional and criminal behavior of the Bush administration, they must first have all the facts. Something that will never happen from this tightly managed news media.

This is excellent and courageous journalism. I hope that there is no revenge by the criminals in government. The United States must take this action and even further to prosecute those who have engaged in criminal conduct by the letter of the law. This must include people like Pelosi and the Democrat leadership who have been accessories to the heinous crimes against humanity and the U.S. Constitution. Unless this course is seen through, the U.S. can forget ever being anything but the laughingstock of dictators and tyrants who will sneer at the blatant hypochricy of any U.S. accusations or condemnations.

Mr. Brecher and Mr. Smith have co-produced a thoughtful, well-researched opinion piece. They argue the Bush administration must be investigated and held responsible for its war crimes. This is a critical read for all, but especially those whose attitude is, "Let bygones be bygones." Such an attitude, if allowed to prevail in our country, may see that before long democracy, human rights and rule of law will also be bygones.

Good as a recap of the crimes of bush etc. ...read Glenn Greeanwald for harder edge on the same stuff!

Completely biased!
