Bashir Warrant Spurs Calls for Bush Prosecution
-----------------------------------------------



Talk of potential US admission to the Hague-based tribunal comes as the
Bashir warrant is fueling talk of a similar action against former
President George W. Bush. David Crane, a former prosecutor in the
special tribunal that indicted Liberian President Charles Taylor, says
the same principles that led to Bashir’s indictment could be used
against Bush on the issue of torture. Others have called for prosecuting
Bush for the illegal invasion of Iraq that led to some one million
deaths.
