It’s getting harder to defend war criminals and their intellectual bodyguards

John Stauber lays out the argument against the Democrat’s support for the bipartisan war in Iraq and Stauber doesn’t leave out their water carriers (such as MoveOn.org).

Very few Democrats are talking about impeachment and war crimes trials. Yesterday, Rep. Kucinich (D-OH) spoke on Democracy Now! on this topic (video, audio, transcript). One can only hope that memories of the war will last beyond the end of Pres. George W. Bush’s second term so that he can be brought to justice. As I’ve noted on this blog before, Americans seem to have trouble finding the time to hold high officials accountable for their crimes after they leave office, as though the resulting deaths somehow become irrelevant.
