Warm Up the War Crimes Trials

We now know who the defendants are going to be: Richard Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, George Tenet and John Ashcroft. They were at the "principals' meeting" when specific torture techniques were discussed.

It seemed that the CIA, which took the blame for various atrocities during the Vietnam War and for Iran-Contra, wasn't willing to take the risk this time. So they kicked the discussions up the chain-of-command to the White House. John Ashcroft, at least, was not comfortable with that: "Why are we talking about this in the White House? History will not judge this kindly." While Cheney gets a lot of blame for this (probably well deserved), Rice was one of the drivers behind the use of torture.

None of those folks had better plan on leaving the country after Bush leaves office, for they will be arrested and prosecuted.

To see some of these bastards on trial would make me one of the happiest campers around. If only it happens.
