a high crime called treason .....‘This Minority Report has been produced at the request of Representative John Conyers, Jr., Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee. He made this request in the wake of the President's failure to respond to a letter submitted by 122 Members of Congress and more than 500,000 Americans in July of this year asking him whether the assertions set forth in the Downing Street Minutes were accurate. Mr. Conyers asked staff, by year end 2005, to review the available information concerning possible misconduct by the Bush Administration in the run up to the Iraq War and post-invasion statements and actions, and to develop legal conclusions and make legislative and other recommendations to him.
In brief, we have found that there is substantial evidence the President, the Vice President and other high ranking members of the Bush Administration misled Congress and the American people regarding the decision to go to war with Iraq; misstated and manipulated intelligence information regarding the justification for such war; countenanced torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and other legal violations in Iraq; and permitted inappropriate retaliation against critics of their Administration.
There is a prima facie case that these actions by the President, Vice-President and other members of the Bush Administration violated a number of federal laws, including (1) Committing a Fraud against the United States; (2) Making False Statements to Congress; (3) The War Powers Resolution; (4) Misuse of Government Funds; (5) federal laws and international treaties prohibiting torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment; (6) federal laws concerning retaliating against witnesses and other individuals; and (7) federal laws and regulations concerning leaking and other misuse of intelligence.’

time for action .....
‘This is a request to Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the UN that he should instigate an investigation into the claims listed in the attachment to this memorandum.
It is also jointly addressed to Lord Goldsmith the Attorney General of the UK.
The UK is a High Contracting Party and Signatory to The Geneva and Hague Conventions and Protocols and The Nuremberg Charter of 1945, and of The Rome Statute of The International Criminal Court. It is thus appropriate that The Attorney General should investigate what appear to be grave breaches of these Conventions and Protocols, and of UN General Assembly Resolution No 95, before and during the Iraq War 2003 - 2005.
We are concerned that, should these breaches be established, those responsible should be held to account.
This is urgent. It appears that many breaches, even now, are continuing to take place.’

the circus: amerikan style .....
‘When the Iranian regime defies the international community, announcing - as it did Tuesday - the resumption of its "peaceful nuclear program," Washington reacts by demanding that its allies "consider additional measures to restrain Iran's nuclear ambitions."
What the American administration doesn't say is that an unbelievable faux pas on the part of its own secret services has perhaps brought Teheran closer to possession of the bomb.’

"I find that the outrage I should feel at the many and various lies of Bush, the GOP in general and their lapdog poodle Tony Blur, instead is a dull and generalised ache of discontent. I am so overloaded by scandal, lies and totalitarianism that my outrage has been burned out. I have Lying Bastard Fatigue...Lying Bastard Fatigue - it's insidious, pernicious and dulls the senses I resolve, this New Year, to fight back and to beat it."
