Bush & Cheney Should Be Charged with War Crimes Says Col. Wilkerson, Former Aide to Colin Powell


Calls are increasing for the prosecution of George W. Bush administration officials tied to the CIA torture program. On Monday, the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch called on Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor who would investigate the crimes detailed in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the program. On Monday, The New York Times editorial board called for a full and independent criminal investigation. We put the question about prosecution to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, who served as chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell from 2002 to 2005.

I would love nothing more than to see these two "men" prosecuted for their crimes and then sent to prison or hanged. However, does anyone else not notice something a little strange about this, in the fact that we know these two men are just puppets to bigger masters? Both Bush and Cheney, as evil as they are, were just following orders. Maybe this is just the beginning of the dominoes falling but I have a suspicion this is just another manufactured distraction. Col. Wilkerson has had years worth of opportunity to say this. Why now? Why not finger the REAL powers behind Bush/Cheney?

Toppling the tower usually must begin with dislodging the bottom. Let it begin.

I wonder if this is all leading up to next election between Hillary and Jeb. (are they opposing factions or just want to be the one to sit closest to the foot of their master(s) )

Although it does work as a great distraction, does anyone really believe that anything will become of this? Just another form of word magic and distraction.

Meanwhile agendas that have been laid out decades or centuries ago are rolling downhill gaining momentum while we armchair speculate if change and reform will manifest this time around.

Seriously, we haven't seen any real kind of reporting for what seems like forever, this is like a decade over due. Old news.

Or maybe something else is going on...

I'm ready to watch the house of cards fall.

Something at play behind the scene. Never would have bush (no capital letter to his name willingly) been used for distraction before. And i must say that for most US citizen, they will not accept the destruction of one of their president, that brainwash they seem to be, in the general public

I wonder if Fulford is not right, the Nazi cabal may be losing their infighting.

I don't know if Wilkerson knows who the true puppet masters are or not. Logic would dictate that he does. I don't think he would survive for long if he spoke out against them. Remember Hastings, Breitbart and many others. I doubt that the puppet masters would ever let Bush and Cheney go down. I doubt that they would let certain top level members of the current administration go down either. It will be interesting to see if they throw a few lower level puppets under the bus to take the pressure off.

True, Bush and Cheney are puppets, but Cheney's the 'senior' puppet...up there with Rumsfeld, Bush, Sr., et al. Cheney still appears to be running things, at times...

Col. Wilkerson was Colin Powell's right hand man when Powell had to go before the U.N. with the fake evidence of WMD. According to Wikipedia (ya, ok. grain of salt but...), he's been speaking out about all of this since 2005 (and after retiring from public service).

I'm not sure what to make of it, but it is interesting, especially since he's a Republican, albeit a dissatisfied one. I'd love to believe he's sincere - he's pretty pissed off which makes him pretty convincing (vs. say, Richard Clarke, who is a smiling fence straddler IMO.) The fake evidence of WMD was especially humiliating for Wilkerson as he was hoodwinked right along with Colin Powell. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

In the face of the brutalities of ISIS, how can they justify holding prisoners in Cuba and wherever, torturing them relentlessly for endless years against whom they have no evidence. Are they feeding the Demons with the agony of these poor humans or using them as an accounting entry to justify their own existence? Time to lower the boom on these evil oligarchs.
