Bush had personally endorsed the plans used to justify the interrogation abuses of US prisoners held in Iraq, Guantanamo Bay and other worldwide locations.声明包括长达数百页的白宫通讯打算反广泛的批评，布什曾亲自批准了计划用来证明审讯侵犯美国关押在伊拉克，关塔那摩湾和世界其他地点。 At that time Bush said, “I have never ordered torture.” Ordered or not, it is now clear from recent reports that Bush was well aware of, and approved plans for, the questioning of known and alleged al-Qaida prisoners being held by the CIA.在当时的布什说， “我从来没有下令酷刑” 。下令或没有，这是现在很清楚，从最近有报道称，布什深知，并批准了计划，讯问的已知和指称基地组织的囚犯正在举行中央情报局。
On April 9, 2008, ABC News reported that Bush’s National Security Council Principals Committee had dozens of top-secret talks and meetings at the White House to review interrogation procedures to be used by the CIA on al-Qaida suspects.关于2008年4月9日， ABC新闻报道说，布什的国家安全委员会校长委员会数十绝密的会谈和会见，在白宫检讨审讯程序将用于由中央情报局与基地组织嫌疑人。 Condoleezza Rice chaired the committee, which included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Collin Powell, George Tenet and John Aschroft.赖斯担任主席的委员会，其中包括切尼，拉姆斯菲尔德，科林鲍威尔，特尼特和约翰aschroft 。 According to ABC, the principals discussed and approved specific details of “enhanced interrogation techniques” — “CIA-Speak” and “Pentagonese” for torture, including face slapping, pushing, sleep deprivation and the simulated drowning technique known as “waterboarding.”据美国广播公司，校长的讨论和批准的具体细节， “强化审讯技术” -“美国中央情报局发言”和“ p entagonese”酷刑，包括面对掌掴，推撞，剥夺睡眠和模拟溺水技术被称为“ w aterboarding” 。
According to a recent article by Dan Eggen of the Washington Post, Bush publicly defended the principals’ torture policies and decisions saying, “Well, we started to connect the dots in order to protect the American people.根据最近的一篇文章由Dan eggen的华盛顿邮报，布什公开辩护，校长的酷刑政策和决定，他说： “好，我们开始来连接这些点，以保护美国人民。 And, yes, I’m aware our national security team met on this issue, and I approved.” As previously noted, Condoleezza Rice chaired the Principals Committee and played a key role in development of policies that cleared the way for US torture practices.和，不错，我知道我们的国家安全团队会面，在这个问题上，我和批准“ 。如前所述，赖斯主持校长委员会和发挥了关键作用，在发展中的政策扫清了道路，美国酷刑的做法。 In 2004, the CIA sought additional assurance by the administration for use of torture on “high value” CIA captured suspects.在2004年，美国中央情报局寻求额外的保证，政府当局使用酷刑的“高价值”的美国中央情报局抓获嫌疑人。 In addressing this episode, ABC News reported about Rice: “Despite growing policy concerns — shared by Powell — that the program was harming the image of the United States abroad, … (she) did not back down, telling the CIA: ‘This is your baby; Go do it.’”在处理这一事件， ABC新闻报道，赖斯说： “尽管日益增加的政策关注-共享鲍威尔-该计划是损害美国的形象在国外，… … （她）并没有回下来，告诉美国中央情报局：'这是您的宝宝;去这样做“ 。
When stories regarding detainees at the Abu Grahib prison in Iraq became public, blame for the illegal crimes was placed on “a few rotten apples in the barrel,” low-ranking US soldiers, some of whom are now serving jail sentences.当被拘留者的故事，就在阿布grahib监狱在伊拉克，成为市民，归咎于非法的罪行被列入“几个烂苹果，在枪管， ”低级别的美军士兵，其中一些人现在服务被判入狱。 It is now very clear that there were also “bad apples” in barrels at the White House, the Pentagon and in Langley, Va., at CIA headquarters.现在应该是很清楚，也有“坏苹果”在桶在白宫，五角大楼和在兰利，在美国中央情报局总部。 Much of the torture that has occured is the result of orders fully approved by the White House.大部分的酷刑已发生的是结果的订单，充分批准白宫。 Thus, the neo-conservative Bush administration, which purportedly invaded and occupied Iraq to free its people of Saddam’s heinous atrocities, is now guilty of its own, including the killing of innumerable Iraqi citizens via aerial bombardment and house-to-house invasions.因此，新保守主义，布什政府，声称入侵和占领伊拉克，以自由，人民萨达姆的令人发指的暴行，现在是承认它自己的，包括杀害无数的伊拉克公民通过空中轰炸和挨家挨户入侵。
In addressing the torture policies of the National Security Council Principals Committee, University of Illinois Professor Francis A. Boyle, one of the world’s foremost authorities on international humanitarian law, said, “Clearly this was criminal activity at the time they committed it.在解决酷刑的政策，国家安全会议的校长委员会，伊利诺斯大学的钱玉麟教授答：波义耳，一个世界的首要当局对国际人道主义法，说： “很显然，这是犯罪活动在时间，他们承诺。 At the very least, it violated the Geneva Conventions, the Convention Against Torture, The War Crimes Act, and the federal anti-torture statutes.在非常至少，它违反了日内瓦公约，禁止酷刑公约，战争罪法，和联邦反酷刑法规。 Clearly these are impeachable offenses.”显然，这些都是弹劾罪“ 。
Given the “high crimes” committed by top administration officials in violation of the US Constitution, what is to be done?鉴于“高犯罪”的承诺，由最高政府官员在违反美国宪法，怎么办？ >From the first revelations of the Bush/Cheney war crimes, many writers, including Professor Boyle and I, have strongly called for impeachment of the president. >从第一次的启示，布什/切尼的战争罪行，许多作家，包括教授波义耳和我，都强烈要求弹劾总统。 Thus far, Nancy Pelosi and other key members of Congress have failed to live up to their oath of office by failing to defend the Supreme Law of the Land.因此，到目前为止，佩洛西和其他关键的国会议员未能兑现其宣誓就职，未能捍卫的最高法律的土地。 On June 10, 2008, Missourian writer David Rosman wrote a very informative piece citing many reasons to avoid the impeachment process. 6月10日， 2008年， missourian作家大卫罗斯曼写了非常详实的作品引用的原因很多，为了避免弹劾程序。 However, I continue to disagree with Rosman’s position that somehow health care, deficit spending, education, trade, the war and so on take precedence over concern for criminal violations of the basic provisions of the US Constitution, including Article VI section 2 of that revered document.不过，我继续不同意罗斯曼的立场，认为在某种程度上保健，赤字开支，教育，贸易，战争等，采取优先关注的刑事违反基本法的规定，美国宪法，包括第六条第2款这崇敬的文件。 In terms of war, there would have been no war had Bush fulfilled his obligation to defend the Constitution.在战争的条款，将有已没有了战争，布什履行他的义务，捍卫宪法。 And the impeachment process, even without conviction of the president and vice-president, would offer a warning to future US leaders that they must obey the laws of war.和弹劾过程中，即使没有定罪的总统和副总统，将提供一个警告，未来的美国领导人，他们必须遵守战争法。
Having said this, I certainly do agree with Rosman’s view that “when Bush and Cheney are once again civilians, then file criminal charges against the former holders of the executive office for treason and high crimes against the people.话虽如此，我当然同意罗斯曼的看法，即： “当布什和切尼再次平民，那么文件的刑事指控对前持有人的执行办公室为叛国和高危害人民。 Jail time sounds so much better.” I favor impeachment and jail time for Bush and Cheney and the filing of criminal charges against all of the top officials involved in the planning and approval of prisoner interrogation crimes.坐牢时间的声音，所以好多了。 “我赞成弹劾及监禁时间，布什和切尼和备案的刑事指控，所有的高层官员参与规划和批准的囚犯审讯的罪行。
