George Bush signed plenty of death warrants as a governor.
These were people who were found by an Iraqi court to have been involved in an assasination attempt, and the punishment was death.
Now I don't support the death penalty, but unless you want to haul the governors of numerous US states into court, signing a death warrant for a person convicted of a capital crime isn't a crime.
You can whine about the fairness of the court, but it was a court, and there was a judge and the verdict was guilty.
This wasn't sending people to a death camp because they were jews or homosexuals or gypsys or communists. This was the execution of people convicted of a capital crime.
And no one was convicted at Nuremburg for genocide, the convictions at Nuremburg were for waging a war of aggression.
