any action against the former Administration with respect to the crimes that are so obvious to many here on DU? I so would have given them much more leeway if they had done something to bring Bush/Cheney et. all to justice than I do now.

1. Does prosecuting Cheney et al.....
Edited on Fri Dec-11-09 12:54 AM by Clio the Leo
..... make it more difficult to convict KSM et al?

That's a serious question ..... to anyone.....

If we conceed that some of the information we got out of him was done using inhumae methods, making THAT information not presentable in court, does that call into question ALL information obtained from him?

Is it possible to prosecute Cheney and the gang AFTER convictions of the 9/11 supects has been achieved?

Oh.... where is Jonathan Turley when ya need him!

Dawn Johnson confirmed. How do you expect changes at the justice department
when the friggin head of the OLC has been stuck in the Senate since March?

3. How about this
After they have the trial in NYC of the terrorist, we all sign petition after petition after petition to have the previous administration tried for war crimes et al. Lets send letters to newspapers network and cable stations, march etc. Keep bringing it to everyones attention. Or how about starting a party like the Tea Bags. One that is aimed at prosecuting these people. Start with Rove and work up.
