On Thursday, April 25, 2013, while we stood in the designated "no speech" zone where dissent, once again, would be rendered invisible across a highway from the Bush Library, we gazed out through white death masks, still waiting for justice to be served. We were people who came together once more, from all over the country, to create

"The March of the Dead", now in response to the opening of the Bush Library in Dallas, Texas.

While George W. Bush was being celebrated, honored by the presence of four living presidents, as well as countless dignitaries, we watched as memory was being erased and history rewritten.

We came to carry names of some of those who lost their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq and Bagram, Abu Ghraib, and Guantanamo prisons; names that would never be engraved on the walls of an institution dedicated to the man who gave orders that resulted in their unnecessary loss of life.We carried the names of civilians and U.S. military and of detainees tortured to death because of war crimes committed by the Bush Administration.

George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have admitted openly to ordering water boarding of detainees. The current Attorney General, Eric Holder, has testified under oath that water boarding is torture. Torture is a crime prohibited by our laws and international law and yet those responsible in the Bush Administration for torture are not touched by the law. This remains our collective national shame. We see that this failure to prosecute crimes committed by officials who are at the highest levels of power in the United States government allows a policy of absolute power to continue to be enforced by the next administration.

Ironically, it is notable how much the architecture of the Bush Library resembles that of a prison. Yet it is not a prison. George W. Bush is getting away with murder.
