Dick Cheney is a sadist.


On Sunday, in an exclusive interview with Jonathan Karl of ABC News' "This Week," Cheney proclaimed his love of torture, derided the Obama administration for outlawing the practice, and admitted that the Bush White House ordered Justice Department attorneys to fix the law around the administration's policy interests.

1. After that interview, there is no reason why Bush and Cheney

should not be rounded up and put on trial for war crimes. None! Every civilized nation should be calling for them to stand trail for war crimes!

If they get away with this, after publicly admitting to organizing and approving torture deliberately from the highest levels of American Government then international laws against torture and against war crimes mean nothing.

They will merely be laws against those who lose wars. :(

3. I could be wrong,, but I believe that is the way it has always been

Only the losers are tried to warcrimes...after WW2, I dont recall a lot of americans be prosecuted for our crimes commtted in that war...in fact I dont recall anyone ever prosecuted that won...I could be wrong, but I dont know of one. Not saying its right, just saying that is the way it is...
