Put the Evil Bastards on Trial: The Case for Trying Bush, Cheney and More for War Crimes | Alternet

Put the Evil Bastards on Trial: The Case for Trying Bush, Cheney and More for War Crimes | Alternet: "December 20, 2014  |          “There is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes. The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account.”   — Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba, June 2008 We’ve seen it in Ferguson, Missouri, with Darren Wilson getting off scot-free for killing Michael Brown. And we’ve seen it again in Staten Island, with Daniel Pantaleo getting off scot-free for killing Eric Garner. So why shouldn’t scores of CIA agents, contractors, higher-ups and other government officials—including former President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney—get off scot-free for torturing hundreds of detainees, including some complete innocents?  That, apparently, is the reigning logic following the release of the Senate torture report."
