they tell me that the justice system there is really screwed up, especially if you are a person of color.

I would like to know if they are going to look into the 152 people executed during Bush's term as governor. He signed the warrants on the word, and one page summary, of Alberto Gonzales. Is there any law than will hold them accountable if they didn't do their due diligence in reviewing the cases? I have heard horror stories of people being executed when their lawyers fell asleep during the trial, of the mentally handicapped being executed without a qualm after they were unable to assist in their defense, and it goes on and on. Is there a law where Bush and Gonzales can be tried for killing people illegally?

I am glad they are finally doing something for the people in prison now, and they should. But what about justice for the dead who were killed when they shouldn't have been? Can we make Bush and Gonzales accountable for them??
