The chief prosecutor of the Internationals Criminal Court will seek an arrest warrant Tuesday for American President George UU. Bush and President of Vice Richard "such a Dick" Cheney, charging them with genocide and crimes against humanity in the orchestration of a campaign of violence that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians in the world's Middle-East region during the past six years, according to U.N. officials and diplomats.
The action by the prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo of Argentina, will mark the second time that the tribunal in The Hague charges a sitting head of state with such crimes, and represents a major step by the court to implicate the highest levels of the American government for the atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan.
