Prosecute Bush: Change.gov

I've tried to beat the drum on the reasons Bush should be prosecuted. You probably agree, so now lets create the pressure. Here's an important drum to beat:

1. Go to Obama's Transition Team web site, Change.gov
2. Go to the "Open for Questions" page
3. Sign In to your Change.gov account or register if you don't have one (it's easy)
4. Search for the questions using the keywords: special prosecutor
5. Vote in favor by clicking the check mark (NOT the X)

Note: Many people have asked the same question (over 500). You can vote on as many of them as you like, just beware of the "truth commission" cop out questions mixed in... you might not want to vote for them.

As of today, the most popular "Additional Issue" under "Pick a Topic" is the following:

"Will you appoint a Special Prosecutor - ideally Patrick Fitzgerald - to independently investigate the gravest crimes of the Bush Administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping?"

14,350 votes "yes" as of today. Lets go viral and get that number to 500,000 million before the January 20 inauguration.

Hurray! Cluster Bombs are OK

Whew! Thanks to Israel, we now know that the indescriminant use of cluster bombs, at the very end of a military confrontation that is being negotiated to end soon, is perfectly OK! ... and people wonder why some Palestinians are driven to acts of violence.

DemocracyNow! reports:

Israel Rules It Was OK To Use Cluster Bombs in Lebanon:

An Israeli military prosecutor has concluded that Israel’s use of cluster bombs during the 2006 Lebanon war was justified and did not violate any standards of international law. Lebanese officials accused the Israeli army of covering up war crimes. The United Nations and human rights groups say Israel dropped about 4 million cluster bomblets during the 34-day war.

More than 30 people have been killed by cluster bomb and land mine explosions in Lebanon since the 2006 summer war.

Some of us know that it's not OK. The military prosecutor fox has just said it's "OK" to eat the chickens in the hen house. Now ain't that Orwellian.

If that's hard to understand, a quick read of the following links on this subject will help clarify things.
