Report: The "Bush Six" to Be Indicted by Spanish Prosecutors

Bush and co should be indicted asap and I applaud Spain for taking this step to bring serious illegal war crimes to justice

Well, that's a step in the right direction. Certainly the ring leader should be indicted, that being bush himself of course. How to get him on the plane would be the big question. He would have to be tried in America for treason.

This would be devastating for Spain and Europe. A refusal to extradite, recall of ambassadors, evacuation order for us citizens out of spain, cancellation of landing rights, barring of travel, economic sanctions, ban on trade, and complete diplomatic isolation.

Spain, are you really serious? I think you are rediculous. Enough of this tripe. Sometimes I would really like America to seal off its borders and say to Hell with most of the countries that coninually condemn us at every opportunity!

No better than the mush brains that have made the typical Bush-bashing comments in response to this article.

The judge in question has all kinds of experience prosecuting terrorists and putting them away. Spain certainly has every right to prosecute crimes against Spanish citizens, even if the accused is a US citizen. (Probably Spanish jails have loads of US druggies.)

I would guess that he hopes that Yoo et al. will snitch on Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al., in exchange for lesser sentences, etc.

If the Spanish are sooooo concerned about human rights, why didn't they do anything about Castro imprisoning, torturing and killing opposition to his Communist regime, many of whom of Spanish decent.
How bizarre. I hope the Somali terrorists get Spanish ships and the other terrorists come back in and blow up more transportation systems and innocents.Maybe then the Spanish will understand the U.S. position. We didn't start the mess with the Islamist radicals; we just want it finished.

Great - The Spaniards take action on these crimes but state emphatically that they will halt the process if and when the USA decides to investigate the crimes and the perpetrators themselves.

We are moving in the right direction but need to widen the scope to include Tony Bliar, Sir John Scarlett and the British Attorney General.

The Mills of God grind slowly but the grind exceeding small.

To the chagrin of those who feel their self-importance has been hurt, I really hope this indictment will result in some criminal charges. Yes, we in the rest of the world know that when it is somebody else's crime, Americans don their most hypocrite attire and go out in shinning armor looking for the bad guy. But if it's YOU the criminal, YOU the mass murderer, YOU the law breaker, then it's "We'll deal with our own" or "They haven't been relevant for centuries". I wonder what that has to do with being decent. Fortunately, the Pax Americana is coming to an end, and it seems it'll do with a whimper. Now, that is funny.

Who said outsourcing is dead?

There are some decent people left in the US, I know.
But you can tell that the yahoos, the warmongers, the deluded are the very ignorant. And some of these posts confirm just that.
The US is a nation of laws...but just for the poor and powerless. The laws for the rich will only be enforced by other nations, Go Spain.

HAHA, wonder how their problems in Madrid are doing? Hey Spain, yall still rioting in the streets? We just started!

Bush Rice Rumsfield Chaney were immune the Spanish Judge must have studued US laws to know what he is doing.

Like anyone gives a damn what the Spanish think. They haven't been relevant in centuries, and this impotent gesture is just proof of that.

And for those of you who seem to want to introduce proscription lists of politicians you don't agree with, dream on. Luckily, Obama is no Caesar.

One of the problems is that their is a minority of US citizens that are strongly committed to a course of action that most of the world would view as war crimes. They believe they have the right to 'bomb' any country 'back to the stone age'. They believe they have the right to invade other countries and overthrow governments. They believe they have the right to have secret prisons and to torture other people.

I don't believe this is a majority of Americans. But it is a very sizeable minority. I'd estimate in the range of 30 to 40%.

The problem is not just with American leaders. They don't operate in a vacuum. The problem is with this very violent and dangerous minority portion of the American people.

I strongly believe we need to prosecute those who've committed crimes. We need to have public proceedings to bring the facts of what has been done to the light of day. That's a first step towards trying to bring at least some of this violent minority back to some decent form of civilization.

But its only the first step. And there's the potential for things to get really nasty as this hateful and violent minority refuses to consent to the laws and opinions of the decent majority of humankind.

Its also an important first step to establish that it is also a crime for the current administration to refuse to prosecute the crimes of its predecessors.

Why are they leaving out Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice. These are the real war criminals.

Yes Bush and his minions should be arrested, put on trial, and convicted. But then so should Barry Obama and his minions.

Reading the comments under articles like this one don't give an impartial person a great deal of confidence in the decency of the ordinary US civilian.

The laws against torture and against launching illegal aggressive invasions (which bring about mass murder as a consequence - that the murder of civilians through collateral damage, civilians that may be no fonder of governments like Saddams than many of us in the west are of our's but just want to get buy as best they can), those laws, are laws that are in the interest of all people but perhaps most especially the ordinary little people that comment in places like this.

If there is no accountability for ordering torture and illegal invasion occassioning mass murder then blind freddie in any country watching that lack of accountability is going to start thinking the rule of law is false. He is going to be more not less likely to want to take justice into his own hands. This unaccountability stuff incites terrorism.

Putting that aside there is another point about US representative democracy. It isn't representative if so called representatives don't have to uphold their oaths to defend the constitution (the embodiment of american values supposedly). Given the opportunity the same freddies who want to be in power will learn to treat the body politics that gives leaders political immunity to torture and to engage in crimes against humanity encouragement to include those things is his repertoire.

Ordinary people should be demanding that accountability and the rule of law be upheld in their own enlightened self interest.

BARACKY LIED, THE ECONOMY DIED~!

Give it a rest. You lame slogan will never take off. It's not original enough
reminds one of the Bush one...
"Bush lied, people died"-- ala the claim of weapons of mass destruction and then we found out there never were any and in the process our troop loss in Iraq as surpassed 4000k American soldiers.

Good, I wonder what evidence they have. And I hope they uncover the truth about 9/11, the war on terror, bin laden and the NWO. By the way Shut up O' reilly this is just what we needed, no need for ur spin . Too bad we are too stupid to indict the whole bush administration. Obama just let this be or let us indict them.

Someday a future evildoer will do something horrible to threaten the entire world. The US head of state will object and the evildoer will say "Guantanamo," and laugh us off the stage. N. Korea has already done a version of this. The time is now to clear our moral books.
Full and fair trials for Bush, Cheney and their top 20 will do the trick. If they've done nothing wrong, the the truth will set them free.
