Bush guilty of War Crimes?

A new survey of Democratic voters has found 44 percent believe President Bush and members of his administration committed war crimes during their term, which ended Jan. 20.

On the same day, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, Manfred Nowak, told CNN that the International governing body already has enough evidence to prosecute former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld for specifically ordering war crimes.

Among the general populace, just 25 percent agree with the assessment that the Bush administration is guilty of war crimes. By contrast, 70 percent of Americans believe it would be "bad" should these officials be brought up on charges, including 53 percent of Democrats. - therawstory.com

I keep trying to figure out what planet these people live on. I remember the beheadings and the torture of US Troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, The beatings of Military people when our Copters crashed. The planes that crashed into the WTC on 9/11. War is not a pretty thing, it is deadly. If we have to push the envelope to keep these terrorist from killing more Americans, by God I want them doing whatever it takes to keep that from happening. I find it funny that this is torture, when in many of the countries they come from the justice system is more harsh than that.
