Title: Bush Policies are "Ongoing Criminal Activity" under U.S. and International Law, Scholar Says

The House of Representatives “must impeach President Bush for war, lying about war, and threatening more wars,” a distinguished international legal authority at the University of Illinois College of Law, Urbana-Champaign, contends.

The Bush Administration “demonstrates little if any respect for fundamental considerations of international law, international organizations, and human rights, let alone appreciation of the requirements for maintaining international peace and security,” writes Professor Francis A. Boyle in a just published article.

“What the world has watched instead is a comprehensive and malicious assault upon the integrity of the international legal order by a group of men and women who are thoroughly Machiavellian in their perception of international relations and in their conduct of both foreign policy and domestic affairs,” Boyle wrote in “The Long Term View: a Journal of Informed Opinion” published by the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover.

Claiming President Bush’s policies “represent a gross deviation from those basic rules of international deportment and civilized behavior” the U.S. once stood for, Boyle said America’s foreign policies today “constitute ongoing criminal activity under well-recognized principles of both international law and U.S. domestic law, and in particular the Nuremberg Charter, the Nuremberg Judgment, and the Nuremberg Principles.”

Boyle called it a “great irony” in that six decades ago the U.S. participated in the prosecution of Nazi officials “for committing some of the same types of heinous international crimes that members of the Bush Jr. administration currently inflict upon people all around the world.”

Boyle also charged the Administration with “grave breaches of the Four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the 1907 Hague Regulations on land warfare, torture, disappearances, and assassinations.”

The legal authority pointed out that Article VI of the U.S. Constitution provides that treaties “shall be the supreme Law of the Land” and that this “Supremacy Clause” applies to international executive agreements by the President such as the 1945 Nuremberg Charter.

As an example, Professor Boyle noted that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales when White House Counsel authorized the CIA to transfer detainees out of Iraq for interrogation, “a practice that contravenes the Geneva Conventions---and subsequently led to widespread abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib.”

The torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, Boyle goes on to write, makes President Bush accountable under U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10 as he is Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The alternative to impeachment of President Bush and his accomplices, Boyle writes, “is likely to be an American Empire abroad, a U.S. police state at home, and continuing wars of aggression to sustain both --- along the lines of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984.”

Professor Boyle, who received his J.D. degree magna cum laude from Harvard, was a teaching fellow there and Associate at its Center for International Affairs before joining the faculty at Illinois.

Professor Boyle drafted the U.S. domestic implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 that was approved unanimously by both Houses of Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. He has written eight books including “Destroying World Order”(Clarity Press) and “Defending Civil Resistance Under International Law.”

He has served as legal counsel for Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, the Blackfoot Nation of Canada, and as Legal Advisor to the Palestinian Delegation to the Middle East Peace Negotiations.

PING

Sure seems to be the plan. These men are desparate, their illeagal war, torture and thefts will be exposed if they do not continue persecuting the wars in Iraq or even expanding them to other nations. They must remain in power, and have given no indication that there is NOTHING they will not do to remain in power.

It's their only way out, in their panicking minds, of the quagmire they have gotten themselves and the nation into.

The next two years are going to be dangerous.

Thanks, I had not seen it. I had heard rumors about it, but thought it was a bad joke.

I really do think there is a chance Bush has been working on some sort of evil scheme to stay in power regardless of what the citizens want. I really do not put iti past theis gang. You can bet it will be "for our own good". As usual.

"Damn, this sure sounds familiar!"

Doesn't it? One of my worst nightmares was to live long enough to see a reprise of a crime of war as horrible as occurred Vietnam.
