War Criminal Cheney is getting nervous. Chimpy Bush, Rove, Powell, Rice, Rumsfeld, Feith, Franks, and Wolfowitz, among others, had better watch out too. There is no place to hide for them. They will be brought to justice. |
"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.
Pinochet’s arrest is a chilling precedent for a criminal like Cheney. It is a historical marker for our movement to demand justice and accountability.
Pinochet was arrested years after leaving office because of the determined and dogged effort of Chilean activists—and a network of international activists—who demanded accountability through prosecution. They never gave up, and neither will the IndictBushNow movement that was initiated by former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark.
The high-profile talk of Cheney’s potential prosecution for war crimes underscores the critical nature of our work, along with our success. The movement to indict Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and other top administration officials is gaining momentum. We are truly breaking through. Mass media outlets are hearing our voices and the word is getting out.
This latest headline comes directly on the heels of last week’s New York Times editorial supporting a federal court of appeals decision allowing two U.S. citizens tortured by U.S. military forces in Iraq to sue former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and others.
The threat of indictment and prosecution for Cheney, Rumsfeld and even George W. Bush is becoming a reality thanks to the the work of dedicated people throughout the country.
It is widely known that former Vice President Cheney was a key architect of the Bush administration’s torture policies. Cheney himself bragged about this starting in 2008. These admissions are also in his new disgusting memoir, “In My Time.”
Well, Dickhead Cyborg, your time is fast approaching. There is no place on this Earth for you to hide.
