Community meeting in Minneapolis
BRINGING BUSH & CO. TO JUSTICE: HOW DO WE PROCEED?
Peace and justice activists have been enormously frustrated by the failure to impeach and remove Bush and Cheney from office. After January 19 what actions under U.S. and international law can we take against them, other culpable members of their administration, and their cohorts in the private sector? Who could those persons be? Under what codes and in what courts could they be charged? What support do we need from the Obama administration, Congress and the public?
Two superb people will address these and other questions:
FORMER FBI CHIEF COUNSEL COLEEN ROWLEY and PROFESSOR BARBARA FREY
