Should George Bush be TRIED for TREASON?

Yes declassifying a CIA agent's information (putting their life in danger!) and then pretending he didn't know about it is beyond wrong... this is only one reason for him to be tried for treason.

President George Bush is nothing more than a pedofile and criminal. He orchestrated the terror attacks of 911 and has committed crimes against humanity and other countries.\nHere is a list of some of the things he is guilty of.....\n\n1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N.

Bottom line:\n\nThere are politicians out there that are more concerned in getting re-elected to office then in providing for the safety of our great land.\n\nTed Kennedy, John Kerry and the likes should be tried for treason.

Personally, I do not find him needing to be tried for, er, treason...but, hey...\n\n...Well, I must naturally base this turn of events around how it may benefit me - would this mean that we would suddenly find an influx of attractive British ladies in America, with those cute accents and all?\n\nIf so, sure! Sounds great to me!

Yes, I believe that he should.  He is a liar and a crook and every former President was impeached for thier misconduct, why not him?
358516
First, to answer your question, yes!!!!!!!\n\nNow for the poster that said Clinton was impeached.  He was not.  It was never even put on the Senate floor, it was only a show of force in the Congress.\n\nAs for Bush, he can lie, steal, cheat and do whatever he wants.  The republicans are too scared of him to even censure him.  But just wait until the next Democrat takes office.  They will be investigated if they use toilet tissue instead of a Kleenex to blow their nose.  Lets see, what kind of charge could that be?  Improper usage of government property?  God help this country!!

The Bush administration, in collusion with the most evil, corrupt and incompetent U.S. Congress in history, deserves to be impeached, or tried for high treason and crimes against humanity. If convicted, the should face a public firing squad.\nThe Republicans impeached Clinton for a helluva lot less than what George Bush, Big Dick Cheney, and Don Rumsfeld have done! Consider what they've done since 2000:\n\n1. Illegally and unconstituionally invaded another sovereign nation that did not provoke, threaten or attack the U.S.A.;\n2. Massacred tens of thousands of Iraqi citiens, including innocent elderly, children and women, for no justifiable reason;\n3. Initiated failed economic policies that have put American taxpayers trillions of dollars in debt, and will almost certainly create a severe economic depression or recession once they're out of office;\n4. Scared other countries into believing their only defense against this new "evil empire" - the United States of America - is to develop their own nuclear weapons;\n5. Tarnished America's reputation as a world leader and global peacekeeper;\n6. Dismantled environmental laws and regulations designed to protect the world's fragile ecosystem against permanent destruction and preserve the ecological balance necessary in nature for all of us (plants and animals) to survive;\n7. Turned America into a police state wherein citizens are presumed guilty until proven innocent;\n8. Lied to the American public and leaked information to the press whenever it conveniently fits their agendas;\n9. Run ripshod over the U.S. Constitution, assuming they are above the law of the land;\n10. Killed more than 2,500 U.S. soldiers (so far).\n\nThere are only two reasons Bush invaded Iraq: 1) to get even with Hussein for humiliating his daddy during Desert Storm; and 2) because Big Dick Cheney wants all that oil swimming underneath Iraq's sands so that he and his Halliburton buddies can get richer and richer and richer.\n\nPrediction: There will be NO WITHDRAWAL OF U.S.TROOPS until Cheney has a rock-solid, iron-clad arrangement in place, in collusion with the new Iraqi puppet government, to steal all of Iraq's oil.\n\nSurely Satan has reserved a special oil-soaked corner of Hell for these evil cockroaches, where they can spend their eternal damnation blaming each other for the mess they made of this world.\n\nCheck out the new blog book: BUSHWACKER!\nwww.blogger.com\nhttp://al-aback.blogspot.com\n\nThomas Jefferson once said: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." That time is NOW. It's time for "We the People,,," to get off the couch, put down the remote, and take up arms against an oppressive government that is not working in service toward its citizenry. \n\nBut, as long as politicians keep us distracted with trivial issues like flag-burning amendments, gay marriage amendments, and a MilqueToast immigration bill, they can continue to suck off the taxpayers' teats, enriching themselves and ruining the nation.\n\nMeanwhile, most Americans are most concerned about Britney Spears' new baby; maxxed-out credit cards; $3.00-per-gallon fuel for their $60,000 SUVs; "low prices -everyday" at WalMart, mostly for junk we don't need; and the latest rankings of their favorite baseball team. \n\nIt's time to take up arms against our scumbag politicians who have raped this country of its greatness and destroyed the fiber of the American people. Politicians play "Robin Hood in Reverse" as they steal from the poor to give to the rich, who - in turn - make generous (if not illegal) campaign contributions to keep them in office. Meanwhile, they neglect the needs of America's poor, homeless, aged, sick, disadvantaged, disabled, underprivileged, and hungry. \n\nIf we throw the crooked Republicans out, we elect the crooked Democrats. Only a full-blown Revolution will chang

George Bush will be remembered as war criminal.

He probably is guilty as charged. I would hate to be in scooters shoes. Bush will be out to get him now. But the truth is cleansing.

655,000 dead Iraq, 3000 Americans dead, many, many more wounded and deformed for the rest of their lives on both sides. All for a war based on George Bush's lies. The American people ought to hold him accountable for his actions. Not to mention torture, secret prisons, not upholding the constitution, a paper that he swore to uphold when he was first appointed to office. He should be impeached and then turned over to the international court in the Hague for trial as  a war criminal. Do not forget that Cheney, and Rumsfield should go right along with him.

I don't think he can even spell treason. He should be tried for draft-dodging, no better still - he should have to go to Iraq and help the boys fight to make up for dodging before. he should be investigated for when he invaded Iraq in the first place verses the reason in present time, he should be forced to repeat grammar school and major in phonics, he should have to go to AA meetings, he should go quail hunting with Cheney (I wish). Etc. Etc.........

I don't think he should be held responcible for what others have done. I think he should be impeached, then arrested and tried in a world court for his crimes against humanity for starting and unjust war in the first place, and then keeping prisinors off shore without due process. If convicted he should be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

A president that has broken the law most certainly should stand before a judge and be pronounced guilty.  If this question is aimed at George W Bush, however, I would challenge anyone to provide the domestic or international law he is guilty of breaking
296369
He really should be arrested and tried in a world court to accept responsibility for the laws that he has broken during his presidency. Not to mention the dirty deals that he has done dirt cheap.

Actually a person can only be charged with treason during war time, which requires an act of Congress. Offically we are not at war right now, the last war as approved by Congress was WW2. So he would obviously be removed from office, and if found out he leaked secrets then he would be placed in prison.

Not only that but maybe impeachment and removal from office for treason.  Starting out with one stolen election and the dissemation of classified information the blew the cover of a CiA agent - for political reasons- and lying to the American people, I am hoping to see some prison terms come out of this. \nBush is actually worse than james Buchananon now.\n\nThis moron is not my president - never was.
