So does this mean there's hope of prosecutions for war crimes or crimes against humanity?

Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith

Well it's possible, just not likely.

(Extradition to Iraq is still my favourite option, on torture charges)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

I think there is little hope for criminal prosecutions.

I have high hopes for civil prosecutions, on the other hand.  If someone can successfully sue for their take-out coffee being too hot then surely there are grounds for suit for being tortured.
