Published: Saturday September 13, 2008

PROGRAM STARTS AT 9 A.M. EST. SEE EMBEDDED VIDEO BELOW.

Saturday morning, the dean of Massachusetts School of Law at Andover will convene a two day planning session with a single focus: To arrest, put to trial and carry out sentence on criminals in the Bush Administration.

The conference, arranged by Lawrence Vevel, cofounder of the Andover school, will focus on which of Bush's officials and members of Congress could be charged with war crimes. The plan also calls for "necessary organizational structures" to be established, with the purpose of pursuing the guilty "to the ends of the Earth."

1. I'm watching and this is fascinating

Philippe Sands, the British author of the book, Torture Team, chronicalling the torture of one prisoner at Guantanamo says that his research indicates that the Bush administration officials, particularly Rumsfeld, will have a real problem w/ being prosecuted as war criminals if they ever travel abroad after Bush's term ends. And that there is the possibility that future U.S. gov'ts once the passions of the moment have cooled will be more likely to prosecute members of the Bush administration. The panel has also expressed extreme disapproval of a truth and reconciliation commission because of the likelihood of whitewash.

The moderator is falsely saying that Pelosi is off the hook because there would not be the 2/3 majority to impeach. That ignores the momementum created by real impeachment hearings with the presentation of all the evidence of wrong-doing and its contextualization by the Congressional interrogators.

2. Unfortunately community activists seem more interested
 in a truth and reconciliation commission in which they can be involved, than in prosecutions that will result in deterrence and the restoration of the force of the Constitution.

Note to self: if using a lawyer and seeing diploma from Andover, RUN!

For past Law Week activities, my office has staged trials of Goldilocks and Peter Rabbit as educational outreach to schoolkids.  Those presentations were a lot more relevant to the real world.

Personally, I think it would be a lot more productive if they put the old lady in the gingerbread house on trial for kidnapping, child abuse, and molestation of Hansel and Gretel.

This is the same unaccredited fly-by-night "law school" that pulled the same publicity stunt a couple of years ago. It isn't affiliated with the famous prep school in Andover, or any other legitimate college or university. Its graduates are more likely to pursue careers as "community organizers" than lawyers. This is a stunt to attract prospective paying moonbat students.
