Former Congressman Takes Bush to Court For 'War Crimes'

Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Former Nebraska Congressman Clair Callan wants a judge
to determine if President George W. Bush is guilty of war crimes in Iraq.

Callan filed a motion for a temporary restraining order in federal court
in Lincoln that would stop the president from ordering further attacks in
Iraq.
The former Democratic congressman argued that Bush is in violation of
international treaties for ordering the U.S. military to attack a country
that has not attacked the United States.
Callan filed the motion Thursday. Federal attorneys have 60 days to
respond.
A federal judge last month denied Callan's request for the court to block
the president from starting the war.
Callan, who is from Fairbury, served in the House of Representatives from
1965 to 1967.
