Bush 'indicted' over war crimes

A group of Japanese lawyers unveiled documents Monday "indicting" U.S. President George W. Bush for war crimes allegedly committed against the Afghan people since the United States-led coalition began its antiterrorism campaign in Afghanistan in October 2001.
"This is an act that breaks international rules, such as the idea of (honoring) human rights, that have been formed over so many years," said Koken Tsuchiya, former president of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations and head of the 11-member prosecutors' team in the tribunal. "We decided this case has sufficient reason to be brought to court."

A civic tribunal will be held in Tokyo, with the first hearing scheduled for July 21.

The charges against Bush, according to the indictment, include aggression, attacks against civilians and nonmilitary facilities and the torturing and execution of prisoners.

They said the indictment will be handed to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo next week.

The tribunal is being organized by Tokyo Zokei University professor Akira Maeda and others.

Sounds like Ramsey Clark (former US Attorney General, now certifiable left-wing kook) will be traveling to Japan in July, yes?

My question is, when can we indict ALL the lawyers?

Good luck in getting Bush to stand trial in Tokyo.
This is a publicity stunt, and nothing more...

We really need to drop another bomb on them to remind them who is in charge.

Please tell me you are being sarcastic. That's not funny. Would you like to take credit for the death of say.. Hatsumi-Sensei?

Well, they may have a point, but of course everyone does to their argument. But, it's kind of funny how they have forgotten their own war crimes from WWII. How many innocents perished in under Japanese rule? I seem to remeber something about the "Rape of Nanking". How many allied POW'S died or were executed in very inhuman ways by Japanese soldiers? You know strung up alive and then used for bayonet practice, or else died of starvation building that little old railway across Thailand. Likewise how many Allied POW's were used as slave labor by Japanese Companies and have never been reimbursed for their suffering?

Just some questions here

Japanese schools don't teach the Rape of Nanking or about comfort women. Whilst 100% of Japanese kids know of the atom bomb, up to 20% don't even know that Japan was at war at the time. The atom bomb is taught as if Truman woke up one fine morning and said, "I've got a really jolly wheeze; let's go nuke Japan!"
