Arrest Bush

Ever since Abu Ghraib broke into the news I have been so sickened at
the loss of our country's stature, as well as the evil which has been
done. This evil was done to people who, as more is learned, are
turning out to have never been "combatants" at all. The really
devastating thing from the standpoint of our national interests is
that the instant the story broke to the world; it signaled the end of
any hope whatsoever of America having any civil influence in the
Middle East for centuries to come. It is such a helpless feeling to
see this for what it is and not be able to do anything about it.

Even more infuriating is the clear paper trail from the accused
soldiers all the way to the commander in chief. Far from conspiracy
theory, it is well established that after questionable legal
consultation, George Bush made it policy to reject codes of
international conduct. This "trickled down" throughout the ranks of
the servicemen as well as the CIA. When asked a direct question about
this decision during one of the debates, Mr. Bush stated, and I'm
paraphrasing, "I will not let our men be tried as war criminals."
This statement implies a great deal of premeditation.

We may never know if this torture was effective in gathering further
information or saving American, Iraqi, or Afghani lives. What we do
know is that most studies show that torture is not effective at all
in producing useful information. Quite simply, after you yank one of
the Dood's toenails, I will tell you anything you want to hear to try
to save the other ones!

Torture-Gate is but one of a number of prosecutable offenses
perpetrated by Mr. Bush and his administration. Another would be
directly lying to congress to promote the war in Iraq in the first
place. Many say that this, in itself, is an impeachable offense.
Where is the righteous indignation in congress? Is this issue really
that murky after numerous investigations, and more to be revealed
after the election? We spent $70 million dollars of taxpayer money on
the strength of a stained dress to try to impeach President Clinton.

We've spent $120+ billion taxpayer dollars and lost 1100+ American
lives on the strength of willful distortions about a shipment of
aluminum rocket tubes. What am I missing here? Is it that lying is
OK, unless it's about a tawdry affair? To paraphrase Mr.
Clinton, "It's the Oil, stupid!" If the Oil was being distilled and
used exclusively for some type of sexual lubricant� now that's
grounds for impeachment!

In an effort to deal with my helplessness and frustration that no one
is listening and these stories are fading from America's
consciousness, the Dood took a cue from Bill Walton vs. Richard
Nixon. I now sign all of my emails as "Arrest Bush" or variations
thereof.

My fantasy is that the FBI really has some decent patriotic people
left who have the courage to follow through. In an effort to pop up
on Carnivore and get their attention, I also add in parenthesis
random words of interest such as "jihad, ricin, bomb, Osama" and
such. Thusly, I will end a typical email with "Arrest Bush
(plutonium, Kandahar, toxin)"

My friends think I'm a little nutty, but they're tolerant, and I
honestly feel better, because I can think I'm doing something. My
next thought is to change the font at the end of my emails and figure
out how to do the parenthetical content in Farsi.

Alas, no contacts with the FBI to date, to plead my case for
arresting Bush, but maybe they're aware, building their own case, and
feel it's better not to contact me. That's kind of the way they work,
methodical and behind the scenes and all, in the movies I've seen.
I've tried to get others to follow suit, thinking that a grassroots
groundswell might do the trick and tip the Feds into action, but no
takers. It's just as well. From what I've read in the news lately,
they have their hands full with trying to translate a ton of
legitimate terrorist messages.

Arrest Bush (target, funds, Fallujah, mines)


Addendum:

I found a cool website that will let you translate English into Farsi
for free. I don't want to get into trouble for linking to a site
without permission, but if you're curious, just Google "free online
farsi translation". If you're interested you can also copy and paste
the handy terms listed below if you want. This ought to get
Carnivore's pulse racing a little faster!
