Titolo: Bush indagato per crimini.

On April 3, at a meeting of over 150 lawyers, legal scholars and human
rights campaigners, Ramsey Clark, founder of Indict Bush Now, was
chosen to be the chairperson of an international campaign to
investigate war crimes committed by officials from the Bush
administration.
Representatives at the meeting held in Beirut, Lebanon, came from all
over the world. The campaign will investigate the lies, deceit and
manipulation leading up to the Iraq war; the conduct of the war itself
against an essentially defenseless country; and the horrors of the
continued occupation.
Lawyers and judges in several countries are exploring prosecution.
Ramsey Clark emphasized that it is the imperative responsibility of
the American people to relentlessly pursue this investigation, and to
seek prosecution and indictment inside of the United States.
The culture of criminal conduct started at the top in the White House
itself and seeped far down the chain of command. The White House is
responsible for these crimes—from the hideous torture scenes at Abu
Ghraib prison to the shockingly grotesque, cold-blooded murder of
innocent civilians by U.S. helicopter pilots in Baghdad in 2007, as
shown in a video released this week.
The chilling video came to light because two of the killed Iraqis
happened to be Reuters journalists, and because of the heroic effort
of a whistleblower inside the Pentagon who leaked the video posted by
WikiLeaks. The Pentagon undoubtedly has hundreds or thousands of
similar videos that are kept under lock and key.
Prosecuting only a few low-level people would be a calculated effort
to deflect away from those in high places who are ultimately
responsible.
Ramsey Clark made the point that all the war crimes and crimes against
humanity flow from the commission of the most supreme crimes which he
identified as the Crimes against Peace. This was the finding at the
Nuremberg trial, and it is enshrined in the Nuremberg Principles.
This now galvanized international movement will also conduct
independent inquiries in several countries to review the conduct of
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove, Yoo and other Bush-era officials.
We want to thank you and the hundreds of thousands of people who are
unflagging in their pursuit of justice and government accountability.
People around the world—including right here in the U.S.—are
encouraged by these efforts. This is a struggle that will be defining
not only for this but for future generations. The outcome will send a
message to current and future leaders that criminal conduct will never
be tolerated or condoned.
Please show your continuing support for this effort by making an
urgently needed donation.

 rights campaigners, Ramsey Clark, founder of Indict Bush Now,
mica solo il figlio....
In 1991, Clark accused the administration of President George H. W.
Bush, J. Danforth Quayle, James Baker, Richard Cheney, William
Webster, Colin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf and "others to be named" of
"crimes against peace, war crimes" and "crimes against humanity" for
its conduct of the Gulf War  against Iraq and the ensuing sanctions;
[4]  in 1996, he added the charges of genocide  and the "use of a
weapon of mass destruction".[5]  Similarly, after the 1999 NATO
bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Ramsey charged and
"tried" NATO on 19 counts and issued calls for its dissolution.
