This has nothing to do with the election.

This has to do with our having potential war criminals in DC - guilty of doing things that they accuse other leaders of doing and send our military to capture them and bring them to trial.

Just because you have lawyers "skirt the edge" of legality, does not make something right. Cheney and Bush went directly against respected experts in the field of interrogation and HUMINT, as well as military leaders (Powell and others) and military law experts.

While US forces may not always enjoy the protections of the Geneva Convention, that fact was not even used as an excuse in this case. This was simple hubris and revenge.

I wonder if the world would be a better place if we had just given Cheney and Bush some Viagra? Maybe then they would not have to have done everything they could to prove themselves....at the expense of the US's reputation and the lives of our troops.

The Constitution, the Geneva Convention, the UCMJ...is there any legal document that Cheney will not use for toilet paper?

Shameful.
