Bush is responsible for the lawbreaking in Iraq

Iraq is a caldron of broken laws.
Recent noise surrounding the indictment of Blackwater guards for war crimes they allegedly committed in Iraq during September 2007 serves as a reminder that the Bush administration's entire misadventure in that country has involved lawbreaking on a scale that may be unparalleled by any other U.S. presidency in recent memory, perhaps even exceeding that of Richard Nixon's reign.
The decision by President George W. ... Full Story »
