>>If he is found guilty of crimes, I'll be happy to call him a criminal then.<< To truly understand what is currently going on inside the US, one must have some knowledge of the law. The current LAW is as follows. The War Crimes Act of 1996, as amended in 1997 to incorporate violations of common Article 3 (18 U.S.C. paragraph 2441),implements the 1949 Geneva Conventions into federal criminal law and makes any violation of common Article 3 a war crime punishable by fine or imprisonment for life or any term of years or both. If death results to the victim, the perpetrator is also subject to the penalty of death. The US War Crimes Act simply converts all such violations into punishable crimes under US law. en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org This is current US law. And that is why there are some men in Washington DC and up and down the US military chains of command all the way up to the Commander In Chief who now live in fear. They are in the same position personally as a man who knows he broke a law. This law is severe enough to entail a life in prison or even a death sentence, but the man has not been caught yet and placed on trial.
