'We've come to this ignoble moment.'
'We have become like Serbia.'
12 Jul 2008
'I never thought I would say this, but I think it might, in fact, be
time for the United States to be held internationally to a tribunal.
I never thought in my lifetime I would say that, that we have become
like Serbia, where an international tribunal has to come to force us
to apply the rule of law...
'So we've come to this ignoble moment, where we could be forced into
a tribunal and forced to face the rule of law that we've refused to
apply to ourselves.'
--Constitutional Law expert Jonathan Turley, on MSNBC's Friday
'Countdown,' discussing accountability behind US war crimes at
Guantanamo.
Law School Dean Calls Conference
to Plan Bush War Crimes Prosecution
17 Jun 2008
The dean of Massachusetts School of Law at Andover is planning a
September conference to map out war crimes prosecutions, and the
targets are President Bush and other administration officials.
The dean, Lawrence Velvel, says in a statement that "plans will be
laid and necessary organizational structures set up, to pursue the
guilty as long as necessary and, if n eed be, to the ends of the
Earth."
Other possible defendants, he said, include federal judges and John
Yoo, the former Justice Department official who wrote one of the so-
called torture memos.
"We must insist on appropriate punishments," he continued,
"including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon top German
and Japanese war criminals in the 1940s."
