On February 22, 2003, President George W. Bush met with President Jose Maria Aznar of Spain at President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas. Information about that meeting is is now online [article] [transcript]. Some excerpts, translated by way of Metafilter:

Bush: “I prefer the 10th. This is like good cop, bad cop. To me, it doesn’t matter who is the bad cop and that Blair be the good cop.”
Aznar: “Is it true that there’s a possibility for Saddam to be exiled?”
Bush: “Yes, it’s a possibility. Also that he be assassinated.”

Executive Order 12333 2.11 Prohibition on Assassination: No person employed by or acting on behalf of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, assassination.
Executive Order 12333 2.12 Indirect Participation: No agency of the Intelligence Community shall participate in or request any person to undertake activities forbidden by this Order.

Just in case all the other arguments for the impeachment and war crimes trial of President Bush fail, here’s another one.

In no way is it difficult to determine that George Bush considers himself not subject to the Constitution of the United States. Why is it that most Americans are not up in (metaphorical) arms that the rule of law has been suspended in our country? Where is the ‘class consciousness’ the left speaks of, the mechanism that is activated by oppression and that causes oppressed groups to act in their own best interest, not in the interest of their oppressors?
