The wheels of justice grind slowly. In this case it is "The U.N. Human Rights Committee, scheduled to meet in Geneva next month, has written to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) calling for any available evidence of human rights abuses by the United States -- particularly in the aftermath of its global war on terrorism." writes Thalif Deen of Inter Press Service.

Once the world bodies like the International Criminal Court will begin investigations into the widespread abuse of both the U.S.A. and international legal systems, ignoring legal precedent and obligations, and wilfully utilizing illegal arguments in justifying torture Mr. Bush, his cabinent officials, military commanders, and administration lawyers.

What the world's peoples have witnessed is the doctrine of "American exceptionalism" gone mad by Mr. Bush and his ideological allies like Douglas Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and many others in key positions in both the White House and Pentagon.

This beginning step by an international organization shows the concerns by such lawyers in their legal writings for the administration like Bybee, Yoo, and Gonzales about culpability are well founded.

The injustice that Mr. Bush advocates through his "war on terror" will be brought to heel. Time is not a factor. Like other tyrants and dictators of the world who have been brought to justice so will Mr. Bush and his enablers.

This headline shows "bu$h"'s mentality of "every man for himself".

Daley "shocked" as feds reject aid

Need I say more about the irresponsible and death causing slowness of "bu$h"'s response to the gulf coast states, cities, and counties? This is the latest in a string of news reports that have shown this administration to be failing the American people in this time of life and death situations in New Orleans and other affected areas of Hurrican Katrina. Slowness to cut through "red tape" and a death causing lack of coordination between federal, state, and local agencies charged with disaster planning and implementation.

I cannot convey this piece of videotape to cut through the willful deceit by "bu$h" and his minons.

From the online magazine Crooks and Liars:

Shepard Smith and Geraldo Rivera were livid about the situation in NOLA as they appeared on H&C. When Hannity tried his usual spin job and said "let's get this in perspective," Smith chopped him off at the knees and started yelling at him saying, "This is perspective!" It was shocking.

This is the video link of Smith and Rivera on the Hannity and Colmes show. Watch the video and it utterly blows away the "bu$h" line of irresponsible bullsh*t.

There will be a national investigation and a subsequent national dialogue coming. The first will center on the tawdry and slow response to a knowable coming major disaster, and the second will be a heated dialogue about the state of race relations in America.

The backsliding by this administration on race relations is startling. However, "bu$h" and his allies have always taken the lowest of the low roads in both his administration and political campaigns. Race baiting in the 2000 political campaign by "bu$h" has been well documented but has never received wide national media exposure. Through political appointees that have specific ideological bias, funding cuts and out right abolishment of agencies that enforce and oversee racial equality in America "bu$h" has created a political and social environment that is conducive to the growth of permissive racism.

What has been seared into the mainstream American consciousness is that those people who have a mindset, behavior, and will act upon the preconditions of "bu$h"'s frontier, vigilante concepts of justice will come to light in New Orleans under the coming investigations at both the state and national level.
