Two dozen members of Veterans For Peace and supporters will conduct the action as part of an ongoingcampaign to have outgoing president Bush and members of his administration prosecuted for war crimes.

Our goal is to have George Bush and his administration prosecuted for war crimes, no matter how long

that takes. There is no statute of limitations on war crimes, said Tarak Kauff, VFP member andcoordinator of the event at the Newseum.

Kauff, a former Army paratrooper, added, We have come to the Newseum, the showpiece home of the

corporate media, to distribute theWar Crimes Times, a newspaper created to fill the void left by the

corporate medias failure to report the Bush administrations numerous and severe war crimes. We are

also here to demand the Obama administration vigorously and unconditionally prosecute Bush and allmembers of his administration responsible for these crimes.

The War Crimes Times features articles by Michael Ratner, President of the Center for ConstitutionalRights; Colleen Rowley, former FBI agent and one of Time Magazines Persons of the Year for exposing FBI

mishandling of September 11 information; Ann Wright, retired U.S. Army Col. and career foreign serviceofficer; Lawrence Velvel, Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law; Jesselyn Radack, former U.S.Department of Justice Ethics Adviser; and Elaine Brower, mother of a young Marine deployed in Iraq.

Founded in 1985, VFP has over 100 chapters throughout the U.S. Membership includes men and womenveterans of all eras and duty stations spanning the Spanish Civil War, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Iraq.
