Wanton disregard for human life – that's what criminal negligence is all about, and by now the names of many former and current federal officials have surely come to you, certainly including President Bush and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld. And let's not forget or forgive members of congress. Ultimately, prosecution for criminal negligence is the best way to implement accountability for senior federal officials. So the question is "not when" but "if" justice will ever prevail? What a barrier to overcome: the disinterest of the federal Justice Department to pursue criminal indictments.

Will the New York Times, the Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS or CNN mount campaigns to pressure the Justice Department to indict the many former and current federal officials that have caused the death of thousands?

The only way to get justice is for millions of Americans to DEMAND it! We can begin with the next congress. The new congress in early 2007 should create a special federal prosecutor to investigate the criminal negligence of present and former senior federal officials, none of whom are above the law. Personally, I prefer seeing George W. Bush in prison, rather than enjoying life after impeachment.

If we do not criminalize atrocious behavior of federal officials, our government will remain dysfunctional, deadly, and subservient to power and economic elites, leaving we the people at their mercy.
