I feel like I don't say it enough: George W. Bush is a war criminal

I know you guys love how I point that out. Remember how we got all upset over how Chris Brown beat the fuck out of Rihanna? Well just replace Rihanna with dozens of innocent captives and remember, Chris Brown at least was held accountable even in the least possible way (possibly because Rihanna is a bitch and was asking for it, not entirely clear). George W. Bush hasn't even pled guilty to a lesser charge yet. Oh, and remember all those "three strikes" laws that meant America was tough on crime? Bush should have spent life in prison for multiple felonies, but instead he was elected President. Who wouldn't want to have a beer with him instead of talkypants like Al Gore and John Kerry.

Anyway, this is more of that, so go read "How America Came to Torture Its Prisoners" by Larry Siems at Slate 
"Our highest government officials, up to and including President Bush, broke international and U.S. laws banning torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Worse, they made their subordinates in the military and civilian intelligence services break those laws for them."--Siems
George W. Bush: war criminal, criminal against peace, deserter, "three strikes" felon, drunk, moron 
Dick Cheney: war criminal, criminal against peace, war profiteer
Donald Rumsfeld: war criminal
Robert Gates: war criminal
Colin Powell: war criminal
Condoleezza Rice: war criminal
John Ashcroft: war criminal
Alberto Gonzales: war criminal, idiot
Michael Mukasey: war criminal
