Largest War Profiterring in US History

“A BBC investigation estimates that around $23bn (£11.75bn) may have been lost, stolen or just not properly accounted for in Iraq.

For the first time, the extent to which some private contractors have profited from the conflict and rebuilding has been researched by the BBC’s Panorama using US and Iraqi government sources.

A US gagging order is preventing discussion of the allegations.

The order applies to 70 court cases against some of the top US companies.”

    In my opinion President Bush has used the Office of the President of the United States to do the bidding of a foreign sovereign, namely Saudi Arabia. He is a traitor to the US and a war criminal along the same line as Hitler. Why has International Laws not been applied to this man? Why does the international courts not bring him up on charges and who are G7 people?

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
