Cheney "Assassination Rings"

If Hersh has even a prima facie case for his assertion that Cheney was running a "Murder, Inc." out of his office (sounds like the stuff of the over-the-top conspiracy thrillers I like to read), I really think both Bush and Cheney, not to mention certain brass hats, ought to be hogtied and shipped off to The Hague for war crimes trials--after we're done with them here.

I'm sure it was a deliberate (and effective) strategy on their part, but within a week or two after the inauguration, Bush and even Cheney both seemed to drop off the map of the national consciousness.  I seemed to have difficulty even remembering the Bush years.    I dropped my e-mail mantra calling for war crimes trials, disheartened by the growing sentiment that it was not politically feasible in the context of the current economic crisis, that the most that could be hoped for would be something like Leahy's truth and reconciliation commission...

But this is so deadly serious, political feasibility be hanged--we need to see to it that these guys ARE hanged--at least, metaphorically--if Hersh has got his sh*t together.  He usually has in the past. 

It would mean for six or seven years we really and truly had a government that was at least on the same shelf as Franco's Spain.
