On Democracy Now. Right now.
Bush, Gonzales, Ashcroft all liable under 1996 Torture Law. Could face Death Penalty. No statute of limitations. Memo's from Gonzales and Ashcroft show they were concerned about prosecutions under act and opted out of Geneva Conventions for Afghanistan, but, not Iraq!

These guys have been doing this crap for decades. All powerful sides of the political spectrum.
John Negroponte just got more power yesterday. We keep bitching about impeachment and war crimes, they keep gaining power. It's a fun game.
