    Why not just hand Bush over to the International Criminal Court?

    A reasonable person might ask why we don't take a page from the playbook of Bush and his henchmen and just send him overseas for further questioning and investigation. The weather in The Hague can be very pleasant in the spring. Something for him to do in those lonely months following his banishment to Texas.

    He would certainly be treated with more civility than his victims. That may be a kindness he doesn't deserve, but the goal is not to be vindictive, not even necessarily to punish -- simply to illuminate the truth for the sake of an accurate history. What group could possibly be more fair and balanced than all those friends he's made for American around the world during his term in office?
