Bush belongs in Guantanamo

The Bush administration appears to have pressured the Iraqi judicial system to ensure that Saddam Hussein sentence is issued prior to the US congressional elections with the hope of Republicans winning some votes. Despite that, the republicans have suffered a major blow in a clear statement from the American public that they are not happy with the Government's foreign policy in Iraq.

The first face saving action that Bush took was to sack his man of war: Donald Rumsfeld. Now there is talk of investigating and possibly sueing Rumsfeld for torture and other possible war crimes. That is indeed excellent and provides hope that George Bush will also be trialled for war crimes when he ceases to be in power. And trialed he should be, and in Guantanamo he belongs. It would be great to see Bush sitting side by side with the people he put in Guantanamo. At least, he will get a trial and access to legal representation.
