Prosecute Bush for War Crimes. Do It Now.

Wanna give your new teabaggy-tastic congress critter heartburn, if only for a minute? Demand that it support Rep. Jerrold Nadler's call for a start to the process that should end with Smirky and Darth rotting in Guantanamo for eternity.

From TPM:

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said Wednesday that President George W. Bush's recent admission that he approved the waterboarding of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was "a smoking gun" and renewed his call for Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate torture.

But Nadler, the current chair of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, doesn't expect Holder to act.

"Judging by the record of this Attorney General, he will not pay attention, he will not respond," Nadler said in an interview on MSNBC on Wednesday. "And that is shameful."

Bush said in an interview that waterboarding is legal because his Justice Department lawyers said it was. The CIA asked Bush if he could use waterboarding. "Damn right," Bush boasted in his memoir that he replied.

That statement "absolutely indicts the president," Nadler said.

"It is a smoking gun, I'm dubious that [Holder] will do it because this administration unfortunately has taken the opinion, taken the attitude that they're not going to look at any criminal actions by, within the prior administration," Nadler said. "They say 'let's look forward, not backward.' By that standard no one would be prosecuted for any crime."

The human rights group Amnesty International has called for Bush to be prosecuted due to his admission.

The One Babs Forgot to Abort thinks he's gotten away with it. What a gift to the nation, the world and our posterity if we can prove him wrong.
