Works for me, but, frankly, I'd settle for just Cheney. The SOB just
can't seem to keep his mouth shut. Oh, and I'm still waiting for
Hannity's waterboarding for charity. That would be pay for view at it's
finest. ;-)

Kind of funny that Tommy wants to spread around "punishment" for
decisions entirely within the purview of the Bush mis-Administration.

If laws were broken, I'm an equal opportunity kind of guy. Hang 'em all.

What laws were broken by Democrats in torture? The policies and
implementation of same were promulgated by the Bush Administration.

You can't just single him out, assuming that this is found to be
criminal. Anybody who knew is complicite in their silence - that is a
simple truth proven by the Nuremburg trials - the fact that you knew
and didn't object is not a defense. I believe that there is also US
case law that supports that view.

Expect this to die a quick and quiet death because if it doesn't,
we're going to be without a large number of Congress critters in the
future.

I don't know anything about that, but if he made the offer, he's an
idiot. It's not a pleasant experience.

The thing about Cheney was mostly tongue in cheek. I have mixed emotions
about going after these guys. I don't feel the need for prosecutions,
but it is a democracy and we need to know what happened to keep it from
happening again. These guys, ill-advised as they were IMO, were working
for our benefit. I don't need vengeance. I just need it not to happen
again. But Cheney should keep his mouth shut.

I don't see how torturing prisoners is "working for our benefit."

We'll shut Cheney up if you shut up Al Gore.

There's a moral equivalent. You betcha.
