Haditha, Bush & Nuremberg's Laws

As the U.S. military wraps up its investigation of the alleged U.S. Marine massacre of Iraqi civilians in Haditha, George W. Bush says he expects any Marines implicated in the murder to be brought to justice. But Bush -- and the U.S. news media -- miss the point that under the Nuremberg Principles established by U.S. and allied jurists after World War II, the architects of aggressive war -- in this case, including Bush -- are culpable for the crimes of their subordinates. In this guest essay, Peter Dyer reminds us of these legal standards. June 6, 2006
