There is a large section of America who thinks George W. Bush was a terrible president. There's another section of America that thinks he's a war criminal. The case against Bush may have been made though.

The article describes military attorney Susan Crawford's interview with Bob Woodward (you may know him from the Watergate scandal) in which Crawford admits that the techniques used against the suspected terrorist al-Qahtani were torture. As the article states, it's a crime to torture, and all those who participated in the torture or who were complicit in the torture can have charges brought against them. Since it was by executive order that these said techniques were put into use, it brings Bush into complicity with the torture. And that right there is enough to bring charges against him.
Also, as torture is against the Geneva convention, he would also be considered a War criminal.
