The Obama Administration is finally taking its first steps that could lead to For president George W. Bush's arrest. CIA Agent Peter Brookes says that this situation could go to a very high level in the government. This case will mostly focus on whether the CIA exceeded their instructions and broke the law. This includes threatening with a gun or any type of weapon. This case will of course take a very long time and people are definitely going to be nervous in the white house during the investigation if they're guilty. Hopefully this does turn out to be true and the Bush administration is guilty for doing this because from all of the pictures and all of the evidence, it seems as if they were breaking the law. The pictures of waterboarding and making the prisoners endure humiliating positions and threatening them with dogs seems like breaking the law to me. If Bush ends up going to jail of course people are going to be angry for that happening, but it will probably be the right thing to do considering the people's lives that he knew were being destroyed.

If the comments or theories are true, I do also believe he should go to jail. Even if captivated and in jail some human rights still oblige to the prisoner. Taking the power of the presidency and going over the boundaries is not what American citizens look up to. There also has been some cases in which he brought in prisoners without telling them why they are placed in jail. The former presidents had countless times broken the law but as usual it has been overlooked.

ReplyDeletenote:there was a major mistake on the previous comment.
ReplyDeleteIf the alleged accusations result to be correct, I strongly urge the government to enforce the justice system to the former government officials as they would to any other individual. In several other occasions Presidents have been known to have broken the law, yet mild consequences have been implemented. The results of the investigation are unpredictable; for once Nixon received a pardon after the Watergate scandal, even though he violated constitutional laws. On the other hand Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury on a sexual misconduct, where no law prior to the oath was broken; I think the President has a right to privacy. So now will Bush and his administration face the consequences of his actions or will he be "overlooked" as Rosa said priorly.
