FOX LEGAL ANALYSIS: "BUSH SHOULD HAVE BEEN [SHOULD BE] INDICTED"

Fox legal analyst: Bush should have been indicted

Fox News' senior judicial analyst made some surprising remarks Saturday that may go against the grain at his conservative network.

In a interview with Ralph Nader on C-SPAN's Book TV to promote his book Lies the Government Told You, Judge Andrew Napolitano said that President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should have been indicted for "torturing, for spying, for arresting without warrant."

The judge believes that it is a fallacy to say that the US treats suspects as innocent until proven guilty. "The government acts as if a defendant is guilty merely on the basis of an accusation," said Napolitano.

Nader was curious about how this applied to the Bush administration. "What about the more serious violations of habeas corpus," wondered Nader. "You know after 9/11 Bush rounded up thousands of them, Americans, many of them Muslim Americans or Arabic Americans and they were thrown in jail without charges. They didn't have lawyers. Some of them were pretty mistreated in New York City. You know they were all released eventually."

"Well that is so obviously a violation of the natural law, the natural right to be brought before a neutral arbiter within moments of the government taking your freedom away from you," answered Napolitano.

"So what President Bush did with the suspension of habeas corpus, with the whole concept of Guantanamo Bay, with the whole idea that he could avoid and evade federal laws, treaties, federal judges and the Constitution was blatantly unconstitutional and is some cases criminal," he continued.

"What should be the sanctions [for Bush and Cheney]?" asked Nader.

"They should have been indicted. They absolutely should have been indicted for torturing, for spying, for arresting without warrant," said Napolitano.

"I'd like to say they should be indicted for lying but believe it or not, unless you're under oath, lying is not a crime. At least not an indictable crime. It's a moral crime," he said.

This isn't the first time that Napolitano's comments have veered away from the standard talking points at Fox News. He has predicted that Arizona's controversial immigration law will be blocked by the court. Napolitano also said Arizona's governor would "bankrupt the Republican Party" fighting for the law.

The liberal blog Crooks and Liars has more details on the Nader/Napolitano interview.

@glenlackey2 I agree. Obama should impeached. He destroyed his credibility with anti-war and human rights activists who helped to get him elected. If he had made good on his campaign promises he could have counted on a second term, but he's just another puppet. It's maddening that his loyal supporters still don't see what a fork-tongued hypocrite he is when the evidence is in their faces. Some even compare him to Martin Luther King, Jr. As if!

[glenlackey2]

Investigate Bush, good. Also then investigate Obama who just passed a revised Patriot Act to include the authorization of assassination of foreign or domestic enemies. Yes their are U.S. Citizens on that list.  We are illigally bombing Yemen, Lybia and Pakistan also. I thought Obama was for change but he has done nothing. Gitmo still active, still in Iraq with permanent 'U.S. Enduring Bases' going up, more troops in an endless war in Afghan. More spending, more bombing while we go broke.

Y aren't being charge. How can they get away like that? They killed more ppl then a local criminal. I want to do what they did n get away with it. Can I ?

They should be brought up on treason charges for excluding poisonous hydrofracking fluid from the clean drinking water act in section 322 of the 2005 energy act. Poisoning scumbag traitors. They call section 322 the "Halliburton Loophole" and yes 322 is the same number the Yale boys have under their international symbol for poison they use for the skull and bones logo. Watch Gas Land, (PBS.org) pass it on

All politicians are criminals. How do you think they get to BE politicians of any stature? Side deals and overlooking each other's criminal acts. Democrats and Republicans are both maintaining the system, neither will break it, as both benefit from this criminal enterprise. Thy all draw lines of what the world and law should do to the common man, then break the law and never are held accountable. Think about that when picking the criminal you like best, Democrat or Republican.

@TheMadmax49

in the Soviet Afghan conflict the CIA helped the Taliban and then after the conflict was over we sent troops into Afghan homes and Islamic holy lands

we sent them and we were warned to go back but we did not listen and thus 9/11 happened if we had just minded our own buisness nothing would have happened

[dobwatches]

Forget about being the worst US President ever, he was the most Un-American President ever!
