In a ruling this week, the Supreme Court dealt George W. Bush a major set-back in ruling that his administration must abide by the Constitution and U.S. law in its dealings with prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It also specifically said that the President must abide by the Geneva Convention. This is good news for America and for the world.
Further, there is a little-known section in U.S. Code which makes it a federal crime to violate the Geneva Convention. This means that senior administration officials may be guilty of crimes. It also means they have possibly committed impeachable offenses.
This is a very important subject and time prevents me from writing more at this time. However, it is extremely important that the American people demand that investigations be opened by the Justice Department and that if there are violations of the law, that these persons are prosecuted. If Alberto Gonzales is not up to the task he must remove himself from the process or resign.
I urge you to contact first your friends and then your Congressional representatives and demand a free and fair inquiry of any alleged illegal acts. The link below will take you to a much longer airing of this topic.
We must restore the rule of law in this country and justice must have its way!
