From Legal Watch:
The Massachusetts School of Law at Andover will convene a conference in September to lay plans to prosecute President Bush and other high administration officials for war crimes. "This is not intended to be a mere discussion of violations of law that have occurred," says MSL's dean Lawrence Velvel in a statement announcing the conference. "It is, rather, intended to be a planning conference at which plans will be laid and necessary organizational structures set up, to pursue the guilty as long as necessary and, if need be, to the ends of the Earth."
The ends of the earth, in this case, may be Crawford, Texas, where President Bush is likely to be found after his term is up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The Wild West locale could be the perfect place for such a trial, given the punishment Velvel proposes for anyone who is convicted. "We must insist on appropriate punishments," Velvel said, "including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon top German and Japanese war-criminals in the 1940s." Sending administration officials to the gallows, he added, "would be a powerful lesson to future American leaders."

All the education in the world wont change what has already been done. Yes Bush is guilty of War Crimes but with paid Law Makers, fixed Courts and no Department of Justice it's all for nothing. We didn't need a law class to impeach Nixon as the laws are already written. All the knowledge in the world will mean nothing if you don't use it. How many more Presidents have to commit War Crimes before this country does something about it. We have been invaded by the Corrupt Bush/Cheney Team. New laws wont change the continued crimes by the Government.
