Pardon Em or Don't Pardon Em?Submitted by davidswanson on November 22, 2008 - 4:38am.
* Bush Pardons
Video: Debate on War Crimes and Torture: Should High Government Officials Be Investigated and Prosecuted?
Michael Ratner, President, Center for Constitutional Rights and Author, "The Trial of Donald Rumsfeld: A Prosecution by Book"
Stuart Taylor, Columnist, National Journal and Contributing Editor, Newsweek
MODERATOR: David Vladeck, Professor, Georgetown University Law Center
Ratner's new book, "The Trial of Donald Rumsfeld," lays out the evidence that high-level officials of the Bush administration ordered, authorized, implemented and permitted war crimes, in particular the crimes of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. Ratner and Taylor will make their respective cases for and against Rumsfeld and other officials in the Bush administration.
This event is sponsored by the Georgetown Law Supreme Court Institute.
I'm only a few minutes into the debate (which can be viewed by clicking my signature), but it is quite interesting already.
By the way, I have been nothing but disappointed by Obama since his FISA reversal in July. What I don't understand is why there was such a fierce contest between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama... in the end, we're just getting another Clinton administration.
