Watch RT Video: Bush’s & Cheney’s Bloody Legacy in Iraq

Iraq is bleeding while Bush and Cheney are gallivanting around the country selling books and making millions of dollars.

The invasion of Iraq stands as one of the greatest crimes in the modern era. One million Iraqis are dead. Thousands of US troops are dead. Tens of thousands more have life-changing wounds.

Suicide rates are soaring among troops who served multiple deployments.

Brian Becker, an organizer for the movement to Indict Bush and Cheney, spoke to RT television yesterday about the tragedy that has befallen the people of Iraq and the United States because of the crimes committed by Bush and Cheney.

The IndictBushNow movement will not rest. No one is above the law. Justice demands the indictment and prosecution of high officials who commit crimes in the name of the American People.

From the streets of Vancouver to the occupations in D.C.:
Indict Bush Now!

Dear supporter of IndictBushNow,

A four-count legal complaint calling fo the arrest of George W. Bush was filed on Oct. 20 in Canadian Courts.

George W. Bush cannot go anywhere without being confronted with the specter of arrest and indictment for torture and other crimes.

The people of Canada went into the streets and into court demanding the arrest of Bush when he showed up for a $599 plate lunch on Oct. 20 in Vancouver.

Bush’s torture victims and their attorneys filed a four-count legal complaint with the courts in British Columbia that included a 69-page draft indictment of Bush.

A spokesperson for Canadian Centre for International Justice, which filed the legal complaint with the support of Amnesty International and other human rights organizations, said the court action included  “4,000 pages of evidence [that] … detail the multi-faceted torture program, which included holding detainees in secret CIA sites around the globe, extraordinary rendition, and the torture of detainees at Guantánamo Bay.”

Behind Cheney's book tour
Cheney "fears being tried as a war criminal,"
Colin Powell's Chief of Staff tells ABC News

Dear supporter of IndictBushNow,

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell's Chief of Staff when he was Secretary of State, told  ABC News yesterday that Dick Cheney's aggressive defense of his policies in his book and on his current tour is an effort driven by "fear that somebody will Pinochet him." Augusto Pinochet was the Chilean dictator who was arrested in 1998 in London on a warrant from Spain for multiple crimes committed during his brutal, bloody reign.

"I think he's just trying to, one, assert himself so he's not in some subsequent time period tried for war crimes," Wilkerson said. "He's developed an angst and almost a protective cover, and now he fears being tried as a war criminal so he uses such terminology as 'exploding heads all over Washington' because that's the way someone who's decided he's not going to be prosecuted acts: boldly, let's get out in front of everybody, let's act like we are not concerned and so forth when in fact they are covering up their own fear that somebody will Pinochet him."

Cheney should be worried. Millions of Americans are demanding prosecution and will be staging protests wherever Cheney shows up to sell books. Wilkerson believes that the prosecution of criminal acts by Bush-era officials is justified and important.

Rumsfeld must face trial for torture, Court of Appeal rules
Bush official does not have personal immunity for torture

Indict Bush Now reaches international TV audience – share this video with friends

It is hard to overstate the significance of the ruling bythe US Court of Appeals that Donald Rumsfeld will face trial for torture. Every Bush-era official who committed crimes, including authorizing torture, has to be deeply alarmed.

The movement for accountability has entered a new, decisive stage and we are committed to stepping up the momentum.

Please make a much needed donation so that IndictBushNow can do this critical work.

Here is what has happened:

The court ruled on Tuesday that two U.S. citizens who worked for a private security firm in Iraq can proceed to take Donald Rumsfeld to trial for the torture they assert they endured during months of imprisonment in 2006 in a prison set up by the Pentagon at a military base near Baghdad's airport..

The two men say they were arrested and then brutally tortured after they tried to expose bribery and corruption in the private security firm that was on the Pentagon payroll. They informed U.S. authorities and began cooperating with them to expose bribery and corruption. In early 2006 they were unexpectedly arrested and sent to the prison at the US military base Camp Cropper located near Baghdad's airport.

After months of imprisonment they were taken from the jail and dropped at the airport without ever having been charged with a crime.

The Court of Appeals in Chicago on Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling that the men have a right to take Rumsfeld to trial.

The court ruled, "We agree with the district court that the plaintiffs have alleged sufficient facts to show that Secretary Rumsfeld personally established the relevant policies that caused the alleged violations of their constitutional rights during detention."

The IndictBushNow.org campaign was prominently mentioned in an interview on RT television yesterday.
