"The second "Kuala Lumpur War Crime Tribunal" found Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their legal advisers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo guilty of torture and war crimes. The vote was unanimous among the five-panel tribunal after the week-long hearing."
"Although some consider this tribunal to be symbolic only, according to human rights activist and lawyer Francis Boyle, it could be the start of similar trials against Bush in other parts of the world."
“As a tribunal of conscience, the Tribunal is fully aware that its verdict is merely declaratory in nature. The tribunal has no power of enforcement, no power to impose any custodial sentence on any one or more of the 8 convicted persons. What we can do, under Article 31 of Chapter VI of Part 2 of the Charter is to recommend to the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission to submit this finding of conviction by the Tribunal, together with a record of these proceedings, to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, as well as the United Nations and the Security Council.
“The Tribunal also recommends to the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission that the names of all the 8 convicted persons be entered and included in the Commission’s Register of War Criminals and be publicised accordingly."
The Founder
Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.
Founder & Chairman of KLFCW
Tun Mahathir is also known for his criticisms of western and developed countries. Even after his retirement as Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Mahathir is still considered as one of Asia’s most influential leaders as well as among developing nations and non-aligned movement. He is also noted in the Western world as an outspoken critic of Western civilization.
This court, it's founder and organization are not neutral and had no choice but to deliver a guilty verdict. The KLFCW also has merchandise such as Tee Shirts and buttons for sale... beleive their mascot is a kangaroo...:lol:

Sounds like a circle jerk to me.
they should come and try to arrest Bush. we could then cause that country to cease to exist which would be the proper response.. Maybe the sore loser lefties can go to arrest Bush too, We will laugh when the Secret Service cuts these wanna be world court enforcers down like the scum they are
Attacking and destroying an entire nation and killing off mass populations because of their court's verdict, isn't the right response. In fact, I'd say that that would defiantly makes the USA a dangerous country and no better than North Korea or Iran.
The prosecution of Bush sets a useful precedent for the prosecution of Barack Obama for war crimes involving the murder of innocent civilians through his drone war. Thousands of innocent civilians have died at President Obama's direction in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. President Obama should be tried at the Hague.
nope, I'd be in favor killing anyone from any country who tried to grab Obama as well
sounds like a scumbag to me

Are not Americans concerned about their reputation as a just people?

Many Americans don't give a damn what rest of the world thinks. The "My country, right or wrong" attitude is far too prevelant. Other countries better not step out of line, but we can do what we want.
