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."
This was originally a RAWSTORY article, but linking there is verbotten!
I'd laugh this off, but the timing, coming right after Republican Convention, is obviously designed to stop the Republican Convention bounce, and give the media some red meat.
I already know the answer, but are these people frakkin' nuts?
Some people are just so self-important.
Guess the - innocent until proven guilty - got flushed.
Will the Bulger brothers sit on the jury?

Contrarily, these people should be arrested for treason.
I was amused that the dean of a law school makes an accusation of someone else being “inarticulate” while using words like “daddy” and “wanna-be”.
:::sigh::: What a bunch of loons.
This is not U Mass Law school (don’t know if UMass even has a law school), but some lesser school, Mass School of Law or some such. But still.
bump
This isn’t Zoo Mass, it is an unaccredited Law School in Andover. Not to say that there aren’t similar attitudes at Zoo Mass.
Fire mission!
Of course it’ts not supposed to be a “discussion”!
It’s *supposed* to be a full fledged Communist ‘Show Trial’.
Complete with prearranged selective evidence, testimony, and kangaroo verdicts.
“I was amused that the dean of a law school makes an accusation of someone else being “inarticulate” while using words like “daddy” and “wanna-be”.”
Some people just cannot hide thier hatred...
“First the verdict! Then the trial!”
Sounds like a good test site for a hypobaric bomb.
See my tagline...
US Code, Title 18, 1751, that’s what.
Plus, they’ll have to get past the Secret Service protection.
Count it up as a wet dream of the Left. Won’t happen.
I thought Massachuesetts was in America. How do the people there allow this crap to occur........
“Massachusetts” and “law school” altogether in one phrase...and you somehow found a way to use the word “respectability” in the same sentence. I guess that’s why you put it in parens.
We need to set up similar tribunals for all the liberal traitors in this country.
Perhaps he is as dumb as they believe him to be but as we said in the days of our youth “if he's dumb what does that make them”?
Just asking, who would go to an “unaccredited Law School”?
This is an act of treason. He better be ready to accept the consequences.
Don’t bother sending e-mails. An earlier post gave an e-mail address. I wrote asking to be notified when Osama’s trial starts. Got a “MAILER-DAEMON” response - no such address.
Typical liberal coward.
This confab has no legal authority and is totally meaningless.
“Just asking, who would go to an “unaccredited Law School”?”
Someone who believes listening to idiot leftist professors is not a terrible waste of time and money.
Article, the ABA has refused to accredit the school for the last ten years.
Not since 1960.
“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.”
These people[?] give gibbering madmen howling at the moon a bad name. First off, to call someone a FORMER DRUNK, is, as the "Friends of Bill" (Not Clinton) know, a great compliment. If you had been an alcoholic then to have become sober for decades is an ACCOMPLISHMENT!
Second, a speech difficulty is not a criminal act under the most lunatic possible code and to cite it as such more than demonstrates the accuser's psychotic antagonism. I could continue to deconstruct this but first, I'd need several drinks and then a thorough detox session. Anyway, who gave this idiot the newsprint space - Copy Editor, get your butt in here!
To quote the sagacious philosopher, B.Bunny, "What a Maroon!" (All of them and the horse they rode in on, backwards!)
“We must try to hold Bush administration leaders accountable in courts of justice. And we must insist on appropriate punishments”
How do you presume to get around me to get to my president?
Sounds a lot like todays Congress! and their endless show hearings.
I wonder what the folks with BDS will do when he is no longer in office? President Bush gets a kick out of these folks exercising their 1st ammendment rights. I think it drives them even crazier when they do it with no one arresting them.
btt
Now that school is out. at least these 12 year-olds are busy playing and staying out of trouble.
Velvel is an old lefty from the Vietnam days re “Lawyers Committee on American Policy Towards Vietnam” which was started by two key Communist Party legal beagles, William Standard and Joseph Crown, and loaded with CP-types and foolish liberals such as Hans Morgenthau (The file is sitting right next to my computer).
This man has been on a “war crimes” binge since the 70’s. He is not to be trusted.
A moot law school.

If Vermont, Massa-damn-chusetts and other radical lefty states ever wanted to seceed, I’d glady vote in favor of their departure and say good riddance. New England seemed like a wonderful place when I visited as a kid, but that was years ago. Seems that beautiful area is nothing but a hotbed of red-diaper bolshies who’ve spoiled it.
