On ABC's This Week yesterday, Uncle Fester confessed to being a big supporter of waterboarding.
As Andrew Sullivan notes, it's not only a war crime, but one with no statute of limitations. And, either the death penalty or life in prison as a sentence.
Of course, Obama has the balls of a two-week-old mouse, so nothing will happen here.
That said, Glenn Greenwald notes that Cheney is performing a bitch-slap of Obama, to put it bluntly.
But, the precedent of Pinochet in mind, or that of Henry Kissinger, if I were Dick Cheney, I wouldn't travel abroad. That said, if I knew he'd get arrested elsewhere, I'd pack his bags for him.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
