    He needs to end this. Let Cheney Bush be prosecuted if they can be held liable for crimes. He becomes an accessory to the fact by being idle on this matter.

    (n) Moral Turpitude is the gross disregarding of moral standards expected of a human being while doing some activity or crime.

    And who in Washington could not be charged with this offense?

    I'd suggest they all loose their property...plus start again with a broom or mop in hand. At least they would not be deported, as some would suggest that putting them in prison would only further punish us...the citizens caught in this disregard for moral standards that were set as standards as early as 1791.

      The Germans are correct on this issue. The rule of law is paramount. The last administration believed that they were above the law. How arrogant and elitist!

      One would hope that the law abiding people of this country would come together on this issue.

      Sounds like someone in Berlin is all for lowering the guilt of Muhammadan terrorists.

      I wonder what the germans think about our President aploigising to our sworn enemy in the name of a country who has done more good for the world than all others combined?

      I wonder what they think about our President saying we are one of the greatest Muslim nations when we are in fact a Christian Nation.

      I wonder if they agree that our troops are supposed to read their rights to prisoners taken in Iraq or Afghanastan according to Oboma.
      And who gave these terrorists rights....the Germans?

      I wonder if the Germans agree with the attempted neutering of the CIA who help keep our troops as well as our country safe.

      I know my nephew who is being sent back to Iraq does not appreciate any of this but what do the Germans think?
