Will any of this be usable as evidence to try Cheney for "Crimes against peace"?

I think «crime against peace» is a name for an NGO, not a reason to jail politicians.

All the standing procedures against Cheney fail to benefit from governmental cooperation. He was supposed to be arrested in France at some point last year, iirc, but justice was too slow to act.

Or am I commiserating? Maybe the warrant was illegal.

Wasn't that Rumsfeld? and not Cheney?

I should distinguish between the two. Thanks for the precision though, it is necessary to determine the proper level of cynicism required to go through the day.

Was one of the crimes defined by the Nuremberg Tribunal....

I wouldn't have joked about it had I known.

Nothing is mere... except historical symbols, I guess. So we can unload the burden, safely, and pass it on to children as education, not things serious people can keep in mind when waging war.

I'm not convinced that laws will eapply to cheney ever again. And he'll probably be surrounded by hordes of Blackwater's finest from here on in anyway.

True justice means: 'Cheney in Guantanamo!'
