The military commission empowered to decide the fate of George W. Bush found the former president guilty of treason and murder, and decreed on Thursday that he be hanged by the neck until dead.<\/p>\n

The 3-officer panel tasked with weighing the military\u2019s evidence against Bush reached a decision after hearing days of heated testimony.<\/p>\n

On Thursday Bush returned to Guantanamo Bay\u2019s south courtroom without the benefit of having his lawyer present, the latter having been ejected from the proceedings on Wednesday for refusing to curb his theatrical, emotional outbursts. Aufhauser had vowed to file an appeal in response to his ejection, but it\u2019s uncertain to whom he would take such action.<\/p>\n

Two more witnesses\u2014both appearing on ZOOM\u2013on Thursday morning testified that George W. Bush had warned them to at all costs avoid New York City, and particularly lower Manhattan, on September 11, and with Bush\u2019s message came a warning: Keep it confidential, or else.<\/p>\n

Rick Osborne, a longtime friend of the Bush family and former investigator for the Texas Rangers Division, told the panel he and his family had been planning to vacation in New York the week of September 10, but cancelled on September 8 after receiving an ominous telephone call from the defendant.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me his intelligence people got credible intel that a terrorist attack might go down in New York that week, and he urged me to postpone my trip. I pressed him for mor info\u2014it\u2019s what investigators do\u2014but he wasn\u2019t saying much more. Just told me in damn clear terms to keep my mouth shut about his caution as it was a matter of national security,\u201d Osborne told the panel.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd as a member of law enforcement you didn\u2019t feel it necessary to investigate further, or tell anyone?\u201d Rear Adm. Crandall pressed him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho the heck was I going to tell? He was George W. Bush, the president. In retrospect I wish I had, but I can\u2019t go back in time,\u201d Osborne said.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The next to testify was none other than James Baker, who served as White House Chief of Staff and United States Secretary of the Treasury under President Ronald Reagan, and as U.S. Secretary of State and White House Chief of Staff under President George H. W. Bush. The 91-year-old statesman had a physician at his side and a nasal cannula in his nostrils. He struggled to speak, and between gasping breaths said that he, too, had been told by the defendant to avoid New York and D.C. the week of September 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a public speaking engagement scheduled in New York and Washington for that week,\u201d Baker sputtered. \u201cIt was either two or three days before 9\/11\u2014I can\u2019t remember what day\u2014double-yew phoned me, telling me to stay home that week because something big was about to happen. I wanted more information, but he beat around the bush, no pun intended, and got silent. Told me, though, that both he and his father needed me to keep it a secret. I\u2019ve known them all my life, but I knew better than to cross them. Lots of empty space in West Texas, if you catch my meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are you coming forward now?\u201d Rear Adm. Crandall asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have much time left, and if there\u2019s even a slim chance I don\u2019t end up in hell, I\u2019ll take it,\u201d Baker replied.<\/p>\n

Rear Adm. Crandall asserted that witness testimony, in combination with the Rumsfeld tapes, proved conclusively that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld were the architects of 9\/11.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although he had more \u201cproof\u201d to offer into evidence, the panel said it had heard enough to not only find Bush guilty but also recommend he hang for crimes against America. The 3-officers found him guilty of treason and held him to account for every life lost on 9\/11.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rear Adm. Crandall affirmed the verdict, and he set George W. Bush\u2019s date of execution for Tuesday, January 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Note: Gavin Newsom\u2019s tribunal was delayed and is now slated to begin December 27)<\/p>\n
