Should Bush Be Prosecuted for Murder?

Crown Point, Indiana, District Attorney Bernard Carter gets a letter signed by 31 fellow citizens imploring him to indict and prosecute George W. Bush on murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges for the unlawful deaths of Indiana soldiers killed in Bush's war against Iraq on false pretenses.

Dear Mr. Carter,

We are writing you, not just as concerned citizens, but as witnesses to a crime of almost unimaginable proportions that has been swept under the carpet by both our government in Washington and our main stream media. Yet the evidence is clear, compelling, and if one were to use the words attributed to Former CIA Director George Tenant, "It's a slam dunk!"

What we are referring to is the murder of 4,179 U.S. military
servicemen and women by President George W. Bush. These young men and women died in Iraq as a direct result of our President's deceit in lying to the American people when he justified his then upcoming invasion of Iraq by telling us that Iraq was an imminent threat to U.S. security.

"The main issue would be whether or not George Bush went to war, as he
always claimed, in self-defense – the so-called pre-emptive strike.
Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, alleged as so, therefore he
was an imminent threat to the security of this country so Bush had to
strike first in self-defense. If the war was not in self-defense but
one that the prosecutor can prove Bush took us to under false
pretenses then all of the killings of American soldiers in Iraq become
unlawful killings and therefore murder", "Letter to a Prosecutor", by David Swanson, click here, www.afterdowningstreet.org/print/36909
