George W. Bush has intentionally misled the Congress and the public regarding the threat from Iraq in order to justify a war against Iraq, in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 1001 and intentionally conspired with others to defraud the United States in connection with the war against Iraq in violation of Title 18 United States Code, Section 371; and \n\n George W. Bush has admitted to ordering the National Security Agency to conduct electronic surveillance of American civilians without seeking warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review, duly constituted by Congress in 1978, in violation of Title 50 United States Code, Section 1805; and \n\n George W. Bush has conspired to commit the torture of prisoners in violation of the UN Torture Convention and the Geneva Convention, which under Article VI of the Constitution are part of the "supreme Law of the Land"; and \n\n George W. Bush has acted to strip Americans of their constitutional rights by ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to legal counsel, without charge and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the President of a U.S. citizen as an "enemy combatant", all in subversion of law; and \n\n In all of this George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President, subversive of constitutional government to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the State of ___________ and of the United States. \n\nBe it resolved that George W. Bush, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States. \n\nGeorge W. Bush and Richard Cheney, by such conduct, warrant impeachment and trial, and removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States;

A UN report condemns 'torture' at the detention camp. But, like other revelations in the 'war on terror', the reaction is to deplore the publicity and ignore the brutality. In the US, meanwhile, the report barely registered with a media industry still obsessed with Dick Cheney's shooting accident. It got even less attention than the disclosure, earlier last week, of new photographs of the 2003 abuse in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq which were more shocking than any seen before. Although the evidence reinforced the belief in much of the world that both Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo are symptoms of American disregard for any rules in the "war on terror", none of this was reflected in major US newspapers, which put reports on the new photographs on inside pages, and did not print any of them. The Bush administration was able to brush off both the Iraq and the Guantanamo affairs. \n\nhttp://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article13597.htm

That is a perfect sentence for a war criminal, but George Bush should have to face the United Nations for war crimes as well.

I agree with you. He wants to be a martyr. The worst punishment we could give him right now is life inprisonment. That would drive him and his supporters nuts!

I think both of them should not put us fine americans through that torture again. At least the past recounts were for valid reasons that was our president and due to hanging chads or some screw up by bushs brother to taint the victory. These 2 will just plain lose for grown men they tend to cry a lot dont they

No, they should not hold impeachment trials against bush, however, they should let him know they will keep that on the table IN CASE he tries to veto everything Congress tries to pass.

The leadership in this country should be held responsible for any atrocity's of war. They hold others responsible. I have maintained for a long time that Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld should be taken to the Hague and tried for these crimes against Humanity. Just because it is the U.S. doing it does not make it right. Who would have thought we would torture prisoners of war. Not before now. The Geneva convention had a purpose and we should adhere to it whether anybody else does or not. By stooping to the level of our enemy's we have allowed them to win.

So Saddam tortured people and now it's right for us to do it?\n\nAmerica lost her moral high-ground in the eyes of the world and it isn't about the gay marriage issue.  Get this through your head...WE ARE TORTURING PEOPLE BY POLICY.  It wasn't a pair of PFC nit-wits at Abu Ghraib, it was POLICY.  90 suspects have died in US detention due to interrogation "techniques".  The House Majority leader said it was "A-OK to crush a child's testicles to prevent terror attacks."\n\nThen we have the Sergeant Major of SOCOM (Special Forces) testifying before Congress saying that torture has NEVER in his long experience gained any useful information.  Suspects will lie and say anything people want to hear to get it to end, or they will bite their lip until they die.  Good enough for me, let's please END THIS BLIGHT ON OUR REPUBLIC.

This is what the Washington Post says:\n\nA U.N. anti-torture panel today issued a rebuke of Bush administration counter-terrorism policies today, calling for the closing of the Guantanamo detention facility in Cuba and a halt to the transfer of suspected terrorists to countries where they may face torture.\n\n...\n\nThe U.N. committee, made up of nine experts, urged the Bush administration to establish a federal law criminalizing torture and to eliminate some of its most controversial interrogation techniques, including sexual humiliation, the use of dogs to induce fear and "water boarding," a practice that involves simulating the sensation of near-drowning.

If these were Americans detained for this amount of  time in another country we would do what we seem to do best....go to war. I don't think we should just let them go, but I do think they should be tried in an American Court of Law.

No, he should be tried for treason, war crimes and crimes against humanity as should the congressmen who voted for the authorization to use force and hence launch the war in Iraq. Both the President, his cabinet and the Congress are in violation of 10CFR20, the code of federal regulations that explicitly dictactes when and how force can be used.
