I know nothing about this case, but I found the following article interesting.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., (Aug. 20, 2013) — In court papers filed today (PDF), the United States Department of Justice requested that George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice and Paul Wolfowitz be granted procedural immunity in a case alleging that they planned and waged the Iraq War in violation of international law.

Plaintiff Sundus Shaker Saleh, an Iraqi single mother and refugee now living in Jordan, filed a complaint in March 2013 in San Francisco federal court alleging that the planning and waging of the war constituted a “crime of aggression” against Iraq, a legal theory that was used by the Nuremberg Tribunal to convict Nazi war criminals after World War II.

"The DOJ claims that in planning and waging the Iraq War, ex-President Bush and key members of his Administration were acting within the legitimate scope of their employment and are thus immune from suit,” chief counsel Inder Comar of Comar Law said.

Absolutely disgusting. But not surprising. Bastards. Thats what happens when criminals are the law makers.

Good god ...

I guess we're going to have to call Webster's to redefine "legitimate" and "justice"... because none of this has anything to do with those two words...

Must watch the Judges on this one, only other way is through Obummer. If this happens we the people must demand redress of wrong.

We must stop the controllers and their minions. Enough said.

Peace!

BS, they bypassed the UN inspectors 3 times to attack Iraq, despite them telling them there were no wmd's.

That's a lie. We have a year of their lies leading up to the war. Did Cheney burn the papers in his "office fire in 2006?

There is proof they lied to take over the financial FED, WS, Government in a coup for oil leadership and takeover.

This won't stick. Diligent truth seekers that are lawyers will get the dirt to prove Eric a fool for pursuing this. First of all they tried it with Gonzalez which means it was premeditated. To the point of going in Ashcrofts room to keep spying on liberals that found them out.

Look at it this way. The basic instruction before leaving earth says: that they'll be turned over to the people. Seems to me jail would be the safest place for them, eh. Some nut out there, that lost all they had, and was left jerking him or herself off from the loss, is gonna cut them a new one for sure. Perhaps lamestream will have a major truthful story for once.

All but one. Barack didn't do any of it, and can't change it because of Republicans. but these guys have been around the block along time and death threats on families, is an "under duress" decision.

Then he should resign. Duress does not mean not guilty. No excuses for bad deeds commited. Unwrap the secrecy bull crap and let the good people decide.

Peace!

The winners of wars write the history books the losers face war crimes. It's a sad but true reality that we live in.

I'm glad it gets some coverage but overall cases like this are all but unknown to the masses.

They're just prolonging their karmic debt, that's all.

The Right and the Left are false paradigms Lifebringer. I hope that one day you will come to understand this. BO does not care about you. He does not care about me
or any of the people on this forum. He started an Illegal war Of his own.
(Remember Lybia?) He dispatches drones on a daily basis and kills with no more
thought than drinking his morning cup of coffee.
All of these men are evil human beings

There was no need to edit the image, Jake.

In fact having these photos go viral may get the idea

of accountability back into people's minds....

If they can have their means to brainwash us into submission,

at least give us back our means to give them a few sleepless nights.

This dream must become reality one day,

or else there is no future.

We all want a fair and just society.

So here it is again, take a good look, everyone.
