Just watched Keith Olbermann (large-noggined hottie, at least in Jane's world. Seriously, I've thought about stalking him at Rockefeller Center) give a Special Comment about torture and the prosecutions that the incoming Justice Department should pursue. The outgoing band of criminals has admitted that we tortured, and it looks like they are going to get away with it.
This has been on my mind lately, mainly because Glenn Greenwald is doing a great job keeping it out there, front and center.
However, this decision came down today, so it's not likely that we'll get the pleasure of seeing Cheney doing a perp-walk anytime soon. What this man has done to the Executive Branch and the Constitution makes me boil, so the best I can hope for is that some great karmic cyclone will drop a house on him and the people close to him.
But if our Justice Department won't do it, will we at least get to see them at the Hague, accused of war crimes, crimes against peace, and crimes against humanity by an international tribunal ? That might be even better.
I'll bet right now, Cheney's out in the back yard stashing stacks of hundreds in a plastic bin, underneath forty pounds of cracked corn, while Bush stuffs the long guns in a cabinet hidden in a dining room pillar.

I used to be a fan of Keith, but he is far too satisfied with himself. During the last few weeks of the election, I wasn't appeciating the actual foaming at the mouth approach.
As a card carrying member of the club, I am glad you enjoy men with large noggins.
