Will Bush and Rumsfeld be tried for war crimes?

So recently, I've heard a whole bunch of people ask the question, Should Bush and Rumsfeld be tried for war crimes?

Lets clear this up a little, there is no Should...it's WILL they be tried for war crimes. According to UN Special Rapporeur on Torture Manfred Nowak, " both former President George W. Bush and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld could be brought to trial. Nowak told the German broadcaster ZDF, "the United States U.S.) has a clear obligation" to prosecute Rumsfeld and Bush for ordering interrogation methods at Guantanamo that contravened a UN convention on torture. Nowak said there were publicly available documents "that prove that these methods of interrogation were intentionally ordered by Rumsfeld."

Bush was warned on January 28, 2003, by Lawyers Against the War that he and senior government officials could be prosecuted for war crimes if military tactics violated international humanitarian law. Their letter to Bush said that although Washington was not a party to the International Criminal Court, U.S.officials could still be prosecuted under the Geneva Convention


And lets not forget those amazing photographs from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. So now that its been indefinitely proven that in fact we did torture prisoners at Gitmo....Want more proof, Click me.
What do we do now? Should we go after Rumsfeld, and Bush? Nowak states that we as a nation have a clear obligation to do so. I guess, the reason there has been no real action on this front is because President Obama's first prority is the economy. I dont understand however why he is so adament about getting bipartisan support on his stimulus plan. He doesn't need it, the plan is going to pass and its virtually impossible to get republicans to see past tax cuts. I agree, that tax cuts will bring more immediate results however we aren't looking for a quick fix, we need a long term plan.

Ok enough of that.

I think after we relax the economic situation we must reprimand the people responsible for the torture. I say this because as an American citizen I feel like I've been cheated. I feel guilty and disgusted with myself. I condemned this type of behavior toward another human being because I was so caught up in the fervor post 9/11. You know the Bush Administration did a great job making a clear line, the US is Good and those people, the Muslims, are Evil.
It was so clear to see.
But now, after pulling my head out of the water (8 years later) the line is not so clear. How can we call ourselves "Good" if we did the same things the so called "Evil" people did.
Doesn't all this sound like the story of a poor, uneducated Pakistani boy? Lets say some terrorist blew up his home and killed many of his friends. He was vulnerable. He then was brainwashed into doing some terrible things. Isn't that the story of Americans post 9/11.
Our fellow citizens were killed by some terrorist. We as a nation were then brainwashed into indirectly doing some terrible things.
What do we have to show for it ? No WMD (weapons of mass destruction) and no Osama Bin Laden.
We killed thousands of innocent people in search for one man? We are in a war that is exhausting our spirits, economy and above all killing more of our own in search for what? One man?

above all, we forsaked the very virtues of our nation. Freedom. We took away the freedom of citizens. We threw innocent people into prison and tortured them. Here is the thing people, yes, you didn't do anything personally. There is no blood on your hands. directly. But we all as a nation, sat back and looked the other way as this was happening. We are responsible for the torture of innocent people. The blood is on our hands.
