On September 13-14, 2008, Lawrence Velvel, the dean of the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover, plans to convene a 'convention' at the school's facilities; the attendees of which will plan strategies to prosecute members of the Bush administration for war crimes.
"This is not intended to be a mere discussion of violations of law that have occurred," stated Velvel in a press release. "It is, rather, intended to be a planning conference at which plans will be laid and necessary organizational structures set up, to pursue the guilty as long as necessary and, if need be, to the ends of the Earth.
"We must try to hold Bush administration leaders accountable in courts of justice. And we must insist on appropriate punishments, including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon top German and Japanese war-criminals in the 1940's."
The dean specifically criticizes Justice Department officials who wrote legal opinions designed to provide political cover for administration figures to carry out torture. However, Velvel's sharpest words were saved for President Bush, according to a passage from ABA Journal.
"The man ultimately responsible for the torture had a unique preparation and persona for the presidency," wrote Velvel. "He is a former drunk, was a serial failure in business who had to repeatedly be bailed out by daddy's friends and wanna-be-friends, was unable to speak articulately despite the finest education(s) that money and influence can buy, has a dislike of reading, so that 100-page memos have to be boiled down to one page for him, is heedless of facts and evidence, and appears not even to know the meaning of truth."
This was originally a RAWSTORY article, but linking there is verbotten!
I'd laugh this off, but the timing, coming right after Republican Convention, is obviously designed to stop the Republican Convention bounce, and give the media some red meat.
I already know the answer, but are these people frakkin' nuts?
Some people are just so self-important.
Guess the - innocent until proven guilty - got flushed.
Will the Bulger brothers sit on the jury?

Contrarily, these people should be arrested for treason.
I was amused that the dean of a law school makes an accusation of someone else being “inarticulate” while using words like “daddy” and “wanna-be”.
:::sigh::: What a bunch of loons.
This is not U Mass Law school (don’t know if UMass even has a law school), but some lesser school, Mass School of Law or some such. But still.
bump
This isn’t Zoo Mass, it is an unaccredited Law School in Andover. Not to say that there aren’t similar attitudes at Zoo Mass.
Fire mission!
Of course it’ts not supposed to be a “discussion”!
It’s *supposed* to be a full fledged Communist ‘Show Trial’.
Complete with prearranged selective evidence, testimony, and kangaroo verdicts.
“I was amused that the dean of a law school makes an accusation of someone else being “inarticulate” while using words like “daddy” and “wanna-be”.”
Some people just cannot hide thier hatred...
“First the verdict! Then the trial!”
Sounds like a good test site for a hypobaric bomb.
See my tagline...
US Code, Title 18, 1751, that’s what.
Plus, they’ll have to get past the Secret Service protection.
Count it up as a wet dream of the Left. Won’t happen.
I thought Massachuesetts was in America. How do the people there allow this crap to occur........
