"SOME" Fear Bush could be target of NY trial

[shraby]

That infamous "SOME" has crept back into the Faux News studio with a vengence! Their headline?

Some Fear Bush Administration Could Become Target in 9/11 Trial

I'm sure "SOME" do fear that possibility. "SOME" likely are making reseverations for an undisclosed location in a non extradition treaty country as I type. You see, for "SOME" there could be a high price to pay for agreeing with, urging on and cheerleading the torture of so called enemy combatants rounded up after the heinous events of September 11, 2001.

1. It only goes to show there is more than one way to skin squirrels

and this is going to be the way to do it without any blood getting on the O man's cabinet personnel.

2. ....

:nopity:

[spanone]

3. i hope it will expose the bu$h*/cheney torture program to the world

[malaise]

5. That's why they're against trials in the USA

Truth will out.

[spanone]

9. 'some' think this will be a good thing

[MineralMan]

4. Some think that Faux News is anti-American!

8. it is

12. Duh...

[liberal N proud]

6. As in, they would be implicated by the defendants?

Maybe.

It would be amazing if it was revealed that Cheney knew of the attacks before 9/11 because of a trial in the US Court system.

The media and GOP are sure putting a full cort, Sunday Morning press in opposition to the public trial.

18. "It would be amazing if it was revealed that Cheney knew of the attacks..."

Knew of them? He planned them!

[liberal N proud]

24. I am just thinking of the revelation being made publicly

Then prosecution of Cheney would have to proceed.

26. I eagerly await the day!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

7. The only thing we have to fear ,is that we'll have to listen to him for more

than five minutes ,my power of discernment just coming back.

10. Well if they didn't do anything wrong, then they have nothing to worry about.

"Some" would say what is good for "some" is good for others.

[ixion]

11. I don't fear he does, I HOPE he does

and I hope they drag his scrawny, little brush-clearin' ass through the mud.

13. I believe they have enough evidence to convict from before the Bush crowd set out to destroy it.

But if in the end the Bush crowd is put on trial it will simply mean that justice was served on both quarters.

19. Why didn't they just run him through a military tribunal before they left?

Geesh they screwed THAT up too

BTW- if you a haven't read "The Dark Side" by Jane Mayer-- military tribunals were used (by FDR) before the military pulled everything together under the UCMJ, which specifically and purposely ended military tribunals. Addington and Yoo (and two other members of the chorus) created the "reasoning" for these to be used again.

[merh]

14. Seems to me that the DOJ may try to introduce the tortured

evidence. The defense will object and the DOJ will then introduce the bush memos authorizing torture as grounds for finding the torture legal and the evidence admissible.

That is how the DOJ will get a legal ruling on the validity of the memos and whether or not the torture is legal.

Once the court's rule the torture illegal and the memos not worth they paper they are written on, the DOJ will have no choice but to go after those who wrote the memos, authorized the torture and carried out the torture.

Too bad for those who authorized and those who carried out the torture.

POWs are authorized to be held as long as the hostilities continue, a trial, even the civil trial as provided for in the Geneva Conventions, allow for punishment of the POWs.

[jtrockville]

15. "They" have always maintained their torture was legal. So what's to fear?

[Subdivisions]

16. Nevermind torture...

The attacks of 9/11 themselves should have "SOME" shaking in their shoes.

[underpants]

17. They screwed in new and unforeseeable ways

and this is going to be a brutal example of it....even though the masses will never be allowed to see the connection

[orpupilofnature57]

20. That's why " Not on the table " was the worst case in history of , ineptitude.

Thanks nancy ,for not bothering us with all that uncomfortable scrutiny.

21. Has Holder said the trial will be open to the public?

I imagine the defendants would want it to be, but the government might ask for it to be closed for national security reasons.

[Liberal In Texas]

22. It would be up to the judge. n/t

[MiniMe]

23. Heard that on the radio yesterday

The wingnuts think this is all a plan to embarrass the Bush Administration. There are a lot easier ways to embarrass them than a trial that neither one is involved it. Remember the old "if you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have anything to worry about" meme? I would say it applies here.

25. K&R and that makes

5!
