As to how to push the issue of prosecuting BushCo for war crimes, I recommend that all watch/listen to Amy Goodman’s 12/23/08 interview with Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D)NY. (LINK BELOW).

He states that BushCo will not investigate themselves, so he intends to introduce legislation in next Congress to (1) bring back the Office of The Special Prosecutor to investigate criminal activities of the Bush Admin, including torture, illegal wiretapping and data mining; (2) an amendment to the Constitution which limits the presidential powers of pardon so presidents cannot pardon members of their own administration who have committed crimes.

We need to watch for this legislation and flood Reps, Senators, and Obama to pass this legislation.
