How to Prosecute Bush
Bush, Worst President in History
Our struggle for accountability is a struggle that takes us right to the
top, to the "decider" and his gang of criminals. We can no longer afford
political timidity.
In the main foyer of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Court of Appeals in
New York, a giant female statute cloaked in white robes literally leaps out
at the visitor, bearing aloft the scales of justice, equally balanced. She
is blindfolded, signifying that justice must be blind, regardless of rank or
class. She's one of the oldest icons in history, dating back to the ancient
Greeks.
Her name is Lady Justice, and her plea for equal justice under the law has
never been more relevant than today in the United States of America.
Many Americans feel her call, yet find themselves repeatedly let down by an
atmosphere of impunity that still reigns in this country despite the
departure of George W. Bush from the White House. The latest, most public
example comes from two eminent physicians who wrote "Doctors Without Morals"
in Monday's New York Times. They have written an op-ed that decries the fact
that "government doctors and psychologists who participated in and
authorized the torture of detainees have escaped discipline, accountability
or even internal investigations." They ruefully point out that government
lawyers who tried to legalize illegal torture under the Bush administration
were at least subjected to a "transparent investigation of professional
behavior," whereas government doctors received no scrutiny at all from
members of their profession.
