Is President Bush guilty of war crimes?

* normon solomon: "Is President Bush guilty of war crimes?
To even ask the question is to go far beyond the boundaries of mainstream U.S. media."

* chris deliso has a new article reviewing a collection of essays "Networks, Terrorism, and Global Insurgency" - he concludes:
"In the end, the business of terrorism and war is a symbiotic one, bringing together an unlikely cast of opposing characters, from nationalist militants to Mafia clans, from soldiers of strong states to the private mercenaries who cooperate with both them and, sometimes, local warlords and crime bosses. As Networks, Terrorism, and Global Insurgency abundantly demonstrates, war has never been stranger than it is today."
* earlier I asked who would get DeLay's appropriations seat - we may have an answer:
"Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA) is the favorite for filling Rep. Tom DeLay's (R-TX) seat on the House Appropriations Committee when DeLay steps down, CongressDaily is reporting.
That name's familiar. In 2004, Calvert accompanied former Rep. (and current convicted felon) Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA) to Saudi Arabia. Convicted felon Thomas Kontogiannis, a pal of Cunningham's, joined the two."
priceless.
