Harry Whittington v. Dick Cheney HA-20-2-06
By Anthony J. Sanders
1.
Cheney v. USDC No.
03-475 of June 24, 2004 is supported in H Res 636 PDF
and H Res 637
PDF that would censure,
respectively, Bush and Cheney
for failing to respond to requests for information concerning allegations that
they and others
in the Administration misled
Congress and the American people regarding the decision to go to war in Iraq,
misstated and
manipulated intelligence
information regarding the justification for the war, countenanced torture and
cruel, inhuman, and
degrading treatment of
persons in Iraq, and permitted inappropriate retaliation against critics of the
Administration, for failing
to adequately account for
certain misstatements they made regarding the war, and – in the case of
President Bush – for failing
to comply with Executive
Order 12958.
Art. 2(4) US Constitution states, the President,
Vice President and all civil officers of the United
States, shall be removed from
office on Impeachment for, and Conviction
of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Under Art. 3(3) Treason against the United
States, shall consists only in levying war
against them. Or in adhering to their enemies,
giving them Aid and comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason
unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt
Act, or on Confession in an open
Court. The Congress shall have Power to
declare the Punishment of Treason.
Under Art. XXV (2) Whenever there is a
vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a
Vice president who
shall take office upon confirmation by a
majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

On 11
February 2006 Vice President Dick Cheney sprayed Harry Whittington, a Texan
lawyer and Bush Cheney campaign supporter,
with
birdshot on his face and upper torso in what has been called a hunting
accident. Whittington suffered a mild heart attack in Tuesday,
doctors
said, after a piece of birdshot in his body migrated to a heart muscle. He was released from Corpus
Christi Hospital on
Friday 17
February. The vice president remained publicly silent
about the shooting for four days until a television interview Wednesday when he
accepted
blame, saying it was "one of the worst days of my life." Kenedy County Sheriff Ramon Salinas said
that authorities have deemed
the
shooting a "mere hunting accident" and that no charges will be
filed. A state game
warden issued a warning to Cheney for hunting without
a required stamp on his license, and
the vice president's office later submitted the $7 payment for the stamp.
3.
In Thursday's report, Chief Deputy Gilberto San Miguel Jr. said that he went to
the Armstrong Ranch about 8 a.m.
Sunday -- more than
14
hours after the shooting, which took place around 5:30
p.m. Saturday. Police knew of the shooting Saturday, but authorities
didn't
interview anyone until the following day when San Miguel talked to
Cheney and other witnesses at the ranch. Ranch owner Katharine
Armstrong was the first to notify the media about the shooting,
calling a reporter at the Corpus Christi Caller-Times newspaper on Sunday.
4. The national media didn't learn of the accident until a story
appeared on the paper's Web site Sunday afternoon. As a State Funeral Director
appointed by then Governor George Bush Mr. Whittington is an
important witness to the wrongful death case against the State of Texas
that
is the most prolific abuser of the death penalty in the USA. Mr Cheney’s testament to the facts goes as
follows, He was dressed in orange, he
was dressed properly,
but he was also -- there was a little bit of a gully there, so he was down a
little ways before land level, although I could
see the upper part of
his body when -- I didn't see it at the time I shot, until after I'd fired. And
the sun was directly behind him -- that affected
the vision, too, I'm sure. But the image of him falling is something I'll never be able to
get out of my mind. I fired, and there's Harry falling. And
it was, I'd have to say, one of the worst days of my life, at that
moment.
5. We've had experiences where the president has been shot; we've
never had a situation where the vice president shot somebody since Aaron
Burr.
This incident seriously brings into question Mr. Cheney’s ability
to control his use of force in interpersonal relations that he has publicly
demonstrated to lack on numerous occasions with weapons of mass
destruction and the international peace.
6.
The case against Richard Cheney began
in Operation Just
Cause of December 20,1989
that overthrew Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega and
was
terminated by President George Bush Sr. in Executive Order 12710 Termination of emergency with
respect to Panama
Signed: April 5, 1990.
The
arrest and detention without a criminal conviction was a grave breech of Art.
XI (2,4) Panama Canal
Treaty of 1977 that specifically grants
all
jurisdiction of criminal justice functions regarding Panamanians to Panama. Review of executive orders indicate military
intelligence and
investments
by Secretary Cheney and President Bush Sr. were in flagrant violation of Military
and Paramilitary Activities in and against
Nicaragua
(Nicaragua v. United States of America) IC.J.
No. 70 1986. Congress responded by
calling for the immediate retirement of those
in
material breech of the Panama
Canal Treaty of 1977.
7. After several days as a fugitive former
President of Panama Manuel Antonio Noriega ID 38699-079 was apprehended and then
wrongfully
convicted
of drug charges in a federal court and is sentenced to be released in
9/09/2007. US
Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons addresses
him
at Miami FCI, 15801
S.W. 137th Ave., Miami, FL
33177 (305)259-2100. Noriega is innocent and must be acquitted
under Rule
29(a) of the
Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure by
overturning his conviction for an insufficiency of evidence.
8. As a Panamanian citizen who was residing
in Panama where
the alleged crime occurred Manuel Noriega has diplomatic immunity under Art.
XI
(2,4) Panama Canal Treaty
of 1977 and must be released to his
family and granted a generous retirement annuity under 42USC(7)§402 in
apology for the many years of false
imprisonment without any question as to the veracity of his conviction.
9. The prolonged detention of former President
Noriega is in contravention to Art. 118 of the Third Geneva Convention. Manuel Noriega must
be
released and repatriated. Manuel
Noriega is entitled to an annuity from the US Government under 5USC(G)(83)
III§8336(h-1) the same law
that
first required the immediate retirement of Vice President Dick Cheney. To ensure that the federal government takes
responsibility for liberating
Noriega
from prison, sentencing of Dick Cheney begins at the same number of days in
jail as Noriega serves that only Noriega can forgive in exchange
for
his speedy and early release.
10.
This liberation and impeachment is imperative whereas Article 2(4) of the
UN Charter is considered the jus cogens, universal norm of international
law,
and is commonly known as the principle of non-use of force. It states, “all Members shall refrain in
their international relations from the threat or
use
of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any
State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United
Nations”
11. In protest of the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq Commander in Chief George H. Bush signed Executive Order 12722 Blocking Iraqi government
property and prohibiting transactions with Iraq on August 2, 1990. It was not until January 21, 1991, after refusing to sign Iraqs peace treaty,
President George Bush Sr. Signed Executive Order 12744 Designation of Arabian Peninsula areas, airspace, and adjacent waters as a combat zone
authorizing what became known as the First Gulf War. It was generally considered just to evict Iraqi colonial invaders from Kuwait.
12. The use of bombs and armored assault on Baghdad in the First Gulf War killed 25,000 Iraqis for less than 1,000 Americans casualties and is the
largest bombing mission in world history, larger in tons of TNT than even than the assault on Germany by the Allies at the end of World War II.
Peace was achieved between the United States and Iraq on July 25, 1991 in Executive Order 12771 Revoking earlier orders with respect to Kuwait.
13.
Aggressive US forces swiftly retired after the cease fire of July 25, 1991 when
President George Bush Sr. signed Executive Order 12771
Revoking
earlier orders with respect to Kuwait and only a few entrenched commandoes
retreated to US military bases in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia
where
US and British air forces and Marines enforced a trade embargo against Iraq and
made regular bombing incursions into the Iraqi no fly zone
killing
at least 100 people every year in contravention to 51 of the First
Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention of 1977.
14.
To fine misbehavior and forfeit US military bases and property on the Arabian
peninsula George Bush Sr. gutted the Veteran’s Trust Fund
Statute
in Chapter 2 Soldier’s and Airmen’s Home and transferred the Fund to new Title
24 Hospitals & Asylums Chapter 10 Armed Forces
Retirement
Home Trust Fund in 24USC(10)§419(4).
Although explicitly ordered to forfeit the military property in violation of
the Geneva
Convention
on the Arabian Peninsula Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney disobeyed and
retained military bases covertly operating in the Arabian
Peninsula
authorized to Use Force in flagrant violation of the International Covenant of
Civil and Political Rights 2200A
(XXI) (1966).
15.
Operation Desert
Storm killed an estimated 25,000 Iraqis in the First Gulf War. It was over quickly and is considered a just
war. After Dick
Cheney
immediately retired from the federal government under 5USC(G)(83)III§8336(h-1)
in January of 1993 when President Clinton took office,
Dick
Cheney came to be elected the new private CEO of Halliburton Oil Well Co. v.
Reilly US 373
U.S. 64 (1963) where he is considered to have
lived
an innocent life, with nothing but an innocent Panamanian President in prison
and a homicidal military base near Mecca to remind him of his
past
indiscretions with international warfare while he dealt in the international
trade of unexploded ordinance privately, with dubious respect for
the
laws of the state of operation.
16.
The Clinton White House drafted the Iraq Liberation
Act PL
105-338 of October 31, 1998
that indicted Saddam Hussein for war crimes and
demanded
his impeachment but diplomacy failed as the result of the US
failing to recognize the damages the low intensity aerial bombardment
and
embargo regarding the Iraqi no fly zone.
17.
Richard B. Cheney did not overtly commit any acts of war again until after he
was selected to be his old President’s son George Bush Jr.’s
running
mate by the Republican Party in the 2000 elections. The choice of running mates reflected bad judgment or criminal
intent on the part
of
the Republican Party to empower the former Secretary of Defense of a decidedly
military Bush dictatorship to a second term- with control
of
the legislature. Newly elected in
January 2001, the president and vice president immediately made covert attempts
to declare war on Iraq
however
were rebuffed by Congress.
18.
The Bush Jr. White House immediately increased the Department of Defense budget
over the $300 billion maximum tolerable defense budget
that
has soared over $500 billion in 2005. It was not until the suicide attacks upon
the World Trade
Center and Pentagon on September,
11 2001
that
Congress actually consented to declare war.
It is interesting to note that the suicide attacks occurred on the 61st
birthday of the newly
appointed
Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson, and killed his wife Barbara Olson who was
on Flight 77
that demolished a wall of the Pentagon.
After
several chemical weapons attacks utilizing anthrax and riacin, deadly toxins,
in packages sent through the US
mail to prominent legislators,
killing
several postal workers, the President of the Senate Richard B. Cheney convinced
Congress and Senate to ratify two acts of war.
19
The Acts War were drafted by the Vice President ratified by Confess and signed
by the Commander in Chief George W. Bush in his first term
of
office are;
a.
Operation Afghanistan Freedom PL-107-40 Authorizing the United States Armed Forces for Use in Afghanistan
of September 23, 2001 is
considered a just war by the Supreme Court in Hamdi
v. Rumsfield No.
03-6696.(2004) although this may merely be a reference to its commission
by
a relative of an employee of the Justice Department. Bombings and extermination missions with
conventional weapons were very genocidal.
The President did not make peace until the signature of Executive Order 13268 Termination
of Emergency With Respect to the Taliban and
Amendment
of Executive Order 13224 of September
23, 2001 on July
2, 2002. It can be estimated
that the US has caused 50,000 fatalities in
Afghanistan
through the initial air campaign, tribal extermination missions and continuing
aggressions of the US Armed Forces acting both
independently
and in cooperation with Pakistan and the Afghan Loya Jirga against armed rural
people whom the government is too poor to
incorporate
into the national defense administration although armed conflict has largely
ceased in Afghanistan.
b.
Operation Iraq
Freedom HJRes.114 to Authorize the Use of Force Against Iraq October
16, 2002 was successful in overthrowing Saddam
Hussein and the Ba’ath party however it was not authorized
by the UN Security Council and expired by treaty on June
30, 2004 when the Iraqi
Trust Fund was transferred to the Transitional Government. Hamdi
v. Rumsfield No.
03-6696.(2004) does not consider the war on Iraq
to be a
“just
war”. George
W. Bush did not make peace with Iraq until the signature of Executive Order 13350 Termination
of Emergency Declared in
Executive
Order 12722 With Respect to Iraq and Modification of Executive
Order 13290, Executive
Order 13303, and Executive Order 13315 on
July
29, 2004. It is estimated that the
initial bombings, armored assault and subsequent occupational insurgency
conflict have led to the death of
over
100,000 Iraqis. Official estimates of
US caused casualties hover around 40,000.
20. The US Supreme Court in Cheney v. USDC No. 03-475 of June 24, 2004 established procedure for the impeachment of the Vice President
under Art. 2 Section 4 of the US Constitution. Character evidence warranting the impeachment of the Vice President from office in accordance
with Rule 608 and 609 of the Federal Rules of Evidence was however omitted. On the campaign trail the incitement of the crime of genocide
18USC(50A)§1091 was used as campaign issue.
21. The Vice President was witnessed publicly ordering the bombings of Iraqi towns on two occasions (1) at a military base in California where
they re-indicted Cleric Al Sadr after he had been acquitted and (2) on the second day of the Republican National Convention. Immediately after
the US elections the troops in Iraq convinced Prime Minister Allawi to declare a state of emergency and attack the town of Fallujah seemingly
in protest of the new peace treaty. Cases regarding misconduct and scandal against his assistants Karl Rove and Libby and the crimes enumerated
in this section however provide sufficient grounds for the succession of the Vice President under the XXV Amendment to the US Constitution.
22.
Sentencing of the Vice President Cheney bears heavily on the false imprisonment
of Manuel Noriega that has lasted 15 years, so far, and
resulted
in calls for immediate retirement under 5USC(G)(83)III§8336(h-1)
when it first occurred. Cheney claims
superior responsibility for
the
loss of an estimated 175,000 lives at a cost of less than 3,000 US
soldiers and 3,000 civilian casualties in the suicide attacks on the World
Trade
Center and Pentagon that he caused
as the result of his treason if he did not actually participate in its
planning. He must be removed from
all
offices of trust within the Federal government, particularly with the
Intelligence Service and Military because his conduct is unbecoming of an
officer
and is so violent as to present a threat to the peace and security of the United
States and world in general. Having no socially redeeming
merit
it seems appropriate to sentence Mr. Cheney to every day Noriega serves plus a
day for every US
soldier who died in post 9-11 conflict.
23.
To help Commander in Chief George W. Bush keep the peace and lead a successful
second term in office Vice President Richard B. Cheney
and
others convicted of war crimes must swear an oath upon a copy of the Holy Bible
for President George W. Bush and the US Supreme Court,
where
they promise,
“I
shall not incite genocide, bomb, slave, kill, oppress, deceive, or usurp
offices of trust within the federal government so help me God.”
24.
Richard B. Cheney should be removed from office on President’s Day without any
corrupt settlement such as the $3 million annually offered
by
Halliburton that is due the Iraqi people and kept under surveillance by a
reputable law firm to ensure that he ceases to interfere in military,
political
and judicial affairs or cause any more harm to any other human beings. Should Congress fail to impeach the Vice
President on President’s
Day
case shall brought forth in March for the removal of the entire Bush
Administration.
25.
As the most homicidal official in the world Dick Cheney cannot afford to shoot
his friends, nor it should be added citizens, women and children
such
as Ms. Hawk and her two infant children who were reported to have been shot to
death in their home in Ohio, very likely by the genocidal
Republican
Judiciary who they permit to spy in the next county over the trial of a mutual
rapist, at nearly the same time that Mr. Whittington
was
wounded quail hunting, before the case was reported to the press. Medical reports should be carefully examined
and a second opinion by
a
neutral doctor rendered to ensure this is not merely a fraudulent punishment
for the more atrocious crime or the result of a dispute there-over
or
relating to Afghanistan & Iraq v. USA
HA-20-12-05
before restitution is made to Mr. Whittington and Mr. Noriega.
26.
It will be a great day for the American people when Manuel Noriega is released,
this year, on 9-9-07. We hope that the
media will try the war
criminals
who overthrew him. The prisoner of war
was falsely held for 17 years as a drug offender and is entitled to restitution
and repatriation.
