Bush Six Likely to Be Indicted Publicizing the indictment movement requires placing newspaper ads, organizing national call-in days to pressure Congressional representatives, intensive media work, teach-ins and educational forums. <http://www.impeachbush.org/site/R?i=wz9YG5xPLUYqC7nQJ__1jg..>Please consider taking a moment right now to make a donation to this new movement for the indictment of Bush. "Spanish prosecutors have decided to press forward with a criminal investigation targeting former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and five top associates over their role in the torture of five Spanish citizens held at Guantánamo," according to Scott Horton, law professor and writer for Harper's Magazine and The American Lawyer. "We are expecting a decision this week," the Spanish prosecutor's office told the Associated Press on April 14. In an extraordinary conclusion to a report by the International Committee of the Red Cross that was just released, the Red Cross recommended that: "the US authorities investigate all allegations of ill-treatment and take steps to punish the perpetrators, where appropriate, and to prevent such abuses from happening again." The Red Cross report outlines the capture and interrogation and torture of "high value" detainees at CIA "black sites.'" The report evidences criminal conduct carried out by the Bush Administration. Coming from the Red Cross, this presents a major obstacle to those who would seek to block prosecution or suggest that the conduct carried out by Bush officials and the CIA could be considered lawful by any means. This report presents direct evidence of the brutality and illegality of the Bush/Cheney Administration's torture regime. The officials' actions constitute violations of international law including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which the United States ratified in 1992, and the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which the United States ratified in 1994. Article 17 of the Third Geneva Convention of 1949 prohibits torture of prisoners and Article 32 of the Fourth Geneva Convention similarly protects civilian detainees. The Red Cross' demand for prosecution echoes the call from Ramsey Clark and the IndictBushNow movement: "Indiscriminate killing of civilians, summary execution, arbitrary seizures of people and property, secret unlimited detention and torture have been authorized and widely practiced." We have extraordinary momentum on our side right now and we must seize the moment to make indictment and prosecution a reality. We will be taking out newspaper ads in Europe and in the United States. <http://www.impeachbush.org/site/R?i=9_xIpjQXMNDBRJOQ9g-P1Q..>Please consider taking a moment right now to make a donation to this new movement for the indictment of Bush.
