Charly Gittings dies, which might make George W. Bush and Dick Cheney breathe easier
By Charlie Smith

The founder of a project that tried to bring members of the George W. Bush administration to justice has died in his California home.

Charly Gittings, creator of the Project to Enforce the Geneva Conventions, passed away in his sleep earlier today (July 14) at the age of 57 in the town of Fort Bragg.

I remember interviewing Gittings, a computer programmer, for a 2005 Georgia Straight cover story, which was called "Are Bush & Co. war criminals?".

Gittings claimed at the time that the Bush administration deliberately tried to bypass the Geneva Conventions following the 9/11 attacks in New York and Washington, D.C.

He attached great importance to a November 13, 2001, presidential military order, which gave Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld enormous flexibility in dealing with detainees.

Gittings said that their treatment violated a 1996 U.S. federal statute outlawing war crimes and requiring U.S. officials to uphold the Geneva Conventions. His goal was to send Bush, then-Vice President Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, and others to jail.

He stated on his Web site in 2002 that the only purpose of the project was to uphold U.S. laws.

The media mostly ignored Gittings in the early years after 9/11. However, in recent years, his point of view has been given more serious consideration, with pressure building on U.S. attorney general Eric Holder to address the issue.

Gittings always pointed out that an indictment required probable cause. Culpability extended to everyone involved in planning and carrying out war crimes.

Under U.S. law, a public official must file a criminal complaint. So far, nobody has decided to do this in connection with the conduct of Bush, Cheney or Rumsfeld.

Supposedly with the new device that's been installed, Cheney will no longer have a pulse. Kind of like a zombie.

Surgery last week? You mean when Venus conjuncted Regulus (the Lion's Heart)?



...sigh... but WHATEVER, right?

He might not have a heart beat, I don't know how this device works, but he'll have a pulse. The pulse is simply the blood travelling around the body, if you haven't got one you're either dead or very soon will be.

Cheney sums up the ambivalence I hold towards transhumanism. Only those with the most money and a nearly sociopathic wish to live (and presumably hold on to their former power) forever at the expense of all others are going to get a shot at that game.

All we need is an undead bionic Cheney ruling us for eternity.

This is one of many elephants in the room, which no one in the Obama admin.
wants to have anything to with. It's common knowledge the Bush Administration (meaning Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & their top advisors),
including the colluders & enablers(Gonzales,Yoo,etc.) in the Justice department are war criminals. So, why the big silence? The facts go away if no one talks about them?

Doctor: If you feel his wrist, Cheney might not have a pulse

But the device does have one almost creepy side effect. The former vice president will not have a pulse, according to Dr. Alan Stewart, director of the Aortic Surgery Program at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center.
