Bush knew Gitmo detainees were innocent

It's bad enough to keep people locked up at Gitmo without ever placing them on trial. But it's outrageous to keep them there when you know they're innocent.

But Bush did exactly that.

The American media is ignoring this story. The only place I've seen it covered is in the Times of Britain.

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a top aide to Colin Powell, said in a signed declaration that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld knew that hundreds of detainees at Guantanamo Bay were completely innocent.

The Bush regime kept the men detained because they were afraid releasing them might harm support for the looming Iraq War.

Now can we finally prosecute Bush?

Seriously. Isn't this enough to imprison Bush for life?

This proves once again that Bush wasn't just incompetent. He was a sociopath. He had no concern for anybody except himself.

It's actually not surprising that he knew that so many of the men held at Gitmo were innocent. A vast majority of Gitmo inmates were actually purchased by the Bush regime from Afghan warlords as if they were human chattel.

What's worse is that the innocent men were subsequently waterboarded even though they were already known to be innocent.

I've been trying to have Bush appear in court for 10 years over the way his minions attacked me at that rally, but he's got bigger crimes to answer to.
