I believe in the right to a fair trial and innocent until proven guilty. This is a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation though. If Bush and everyone stop talking about it, Americans and people all over the world are going to think that they don't really care. And if they keep talking about it, it's unlikely these people will get a fair trial. I think in this situation it is more important to show outrage and address the issue than it is to keep quiet until the accused are brought to trial.
