The Bush administration must be smiling. Last week, the Senate Armed Services Committee report on detainee abuse was released, only to be buried by the media frenzy over a two-bit Chicago governor trying to sell Obama's senate seat.
After WWII, some of the Germans and Japanese charged with war crimes were tried, convicted, and executed for lesser offenses than the detainee torture and abuse at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib. What went on there was plainly beyond anything sanctioned by the Geneva Conventions. And the crimes committed there pale in comparison to the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians who died and the millions of Iraqis who fled Iraq because of Americans and their bombs.
It would give me great satisfaction to one day see Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Addington, Yoo, Rove, and yes, W. himself on the dock for these crimes.
