The "International Commission of Inquiry on Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration of the United States" has indicted U.S. president George W. Bush for his crimes.
Although the indictments have no legal effect, they will make those on the very far-left feel better. The "International Commission" is sponsored by the "Not in our Name" group, and a partial list of supporters is here.

* Edward Asner

Crimes against humanity? War crimes? Well, that kind of stuff is way over my head, and I would't even attempt to respond to it. However, I do believe that somebody should bitch-slap Dubya for telling all those lies. Does he really believe the majority of the American people are stupid enough to buy in to that shit! Ok, he was elected twice, so maybe I am all wet and should shut up. Pssst. Hey, come here a minute. I want to whisper in your ear. You know what I think?...I think Duby might not be as dumb as he looks. And I think the majority of the American people didn't really vote for him last time.
