Will any Bush admistration cabinet member be arrested on war crimes charges before 2010?

“Violations of Common Article 3 are ‘war crimes’ for which everyone involved — potentially up to and including the president of the United States — may be tried in any of the other 193 countries that are parties to the conventions.” Paul X. Kelley, former Marine Corps commandant, and Robert F. Turner, UVA Law professor in <a href="http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost/access/1310243111.html?dids=1310243111:1310243111&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Jul+26,+2007&author=PX+Kelley+and+Robert+F+Turner&pub=The+Washington+Post&edition=&startpage=A.21&desc=War+Crimes+and+the+White+House;+The+Dishonor+in+a+Tortured+New+'Interpretation'+of+the+Geneva+Conventions">Washington Post op-ed</a>

Pelosi Open to Prosecution of Bush Administration Officials

The House speaker suggests that the law might compel Democrats to press forth on some prosecutions of Bush administration officials, saying they may not "have a right to ignore" them. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is receptive to the idea of prosecuting some Bush administration officials, while letting others who are accused of misdeeds leave office without prosecution. "I think you look at each item and see what is a violation of the law and do we even have a right to ignore it," the California Democrat said. "And other things that are maybe time that is spent better looking to the future rather than to the past."

Rep. John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced Friday he wants to set up a commission to look into whether the Bush administration broke the law by taking the nation to war against Iraq and instituting aggressive anti-terror initiatives. The Michigan Democrat called for an "independent criminal probe into whether any laws were broken in connection with these activities." President-elect Barack Obama has not closed off the possibility of prosecutions, but hinted he does not favor them. "I don't believe that anybody is above the law," he told ABC News a week ago. "On the other hand, I also have a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards." Pelosi, during the interview in her ceremonial office, said there is merit in both arguments.

did you notice how she said let some go and look into others. the problem is she might have to investigate herself. bush consulted with leaders from BOTH parties on what he was doing. she better be very careful where she treads.

Richard Dicker, director of the International Justice Program at Human Rights Watch, said the ruling would likely fuel discussion about investigations of possible crimes by Bush administration officials.
