Bush getting ready to fly out of Andrews. Too bad I didn't have to work today. Could've watched it with my own eyes.

Unless there were more pardons we dont know about yet, he was so cartoon texan in his pardons. In only pardoning the people who shot a Texican.

I guess, knowing what a small human being he is, we have to acknowledge that he just doesn't give a damn about anybody, hence the small number of pardons.

So does this mean there's hope of prosecutions for war crimes or crimes against humanity?

Well it's possible, just not likely.

(Extradition to Iraq is still my favourite option, on torture charges)

Re: OMG Bush is GONE!!! (4.00 / 1)

I think there is little hope for criminal prosecutions.

I have high hopes for civil prosecutions, on the other hand. If someone can successfully sue for their take-out coffee being too hot then surely there are grounds for suit for being tortured.

Actually there is such a treaty, ever since 1923. However, since the U.S. has decided that it doesn't apply to terrorists, Chavez could just as well decide that it doesn't apply to former presidents.

Plus, he might fare better being tried in the US than he would if Chavez decided to bring charges against him!

I guess one can't trust the Cohen brothers for the status of US diplomacy :(

Re: OMG Bush is GONE!!! (none / 0)

given that Patrick McGoohan of Prisoner fame died this week, maybe Bush will wake up in the Village as the replacement number 6.

Cheney will continue his duties as Number 2 and "Rover" operative.

keep to the Fen Causeway
