Dear CT Greens,
Sorry for the glitch in sending this message to the list. It was obviously a personal reply in response to the news I posted earlier.

Judy,
I assume so--one of the IC members just posted it. Harold may know about it.
Thanks for phone call the other day.
Forgive my delay in responding earlier. Sorry to hear about Audrey's Dad and your own, and that you didn't get to Sundance this year.
How is your father now?
We're back and forth with my Mom whom we convinced to try to spend some time at the Cape with her younger (87) sister who was also recently widowed.
Now we learned this morning that my aunt is in hospital there with UT infection, low blood pressure (89/40) and fever. She's in ICU on respirator. Her sons are there with them. Given that it's 4 hours there, we're waiting to see what happens in next few hours and will probably go either tonight or tomorrow am. My poor mom was not expecting this. I just talked to my aunt on Wednesday evening and she was chipper and good energy. Hopefully the antibiotics will work and her pressure will continue to rise.
Keep us in your prayers as I do for all of you.
Love,
Justine

Bush 'war crimes conference' to convene in Mass., plan prosecution of admin. officials
06/22/2008 @ 6:34 pm
Filed by Stephen C. Webster
On September 13-14, 2008, Lawrence Velvel, the dean of the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover, plans to convene a 'convention' at the school's facilities; the attendees of which will plan strategies to prosecute members of the Bush administration for war crimes.
"This is not intended to be a mere discussion of violations of law that have occurred," stated Velvel in a press release. "It is, rather, intended to be a planning conference at which plans will be laid and necessary organizational structures set up, to pursue the guilty as long as necessary and, if need be, to the ends of the Earth.
"We must try to hold Bush administration leaders accountable in courts of justice. And we must insist on appropriate punishments, including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon top German and Japanese war-criminals in the 1940's."
The dean specifically criticizes Justice Department officials who wrote legal opinions designed to provide political cover for administration figures to carry out torture. However, Velvel's sharpest words were saved for President Bush, according to a passage from ABA Journal.
"The man ultimately responsible for the torture had a unique preparation and persona for the presidency," wrote Velvel. "He is a former drunk, was a serial failure in business who had to repeatedly be bailed out by daddy's friends and wanna-be-friends, was unable to speak articulately despite the finest education(s) that money and influence can buy, has a dislike of reading, so that 100-page memos have to be boiled down to one page for him, is heedless of facts and evidence, and appears not even to know the meaning of truth."
