TVNL Editor's Comments: There were official calls for international investigations and arrests of top US officials, including George W. Bush yesterday, yet CNN and company pretended it did not happen. They also ignored the news about Germany issuing an arrest warrant for Donald Rumsfeld over the same issues. Germany dropped the case against Rumsfeld when the US announced it would investigate the atrocities, but the investigation, as were all investigations under this administration, turned out to be a white wash. You would think that our media should report this just the same however. Just a thought. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
