With Dick Cheney`s admission that he authorised the use of TORTURE including Water boarding, should he be prosecuted as a War Criminal? It makes no difference WHAT provoked him to do such a thing and to invoke the 911 attacks as a reason or excuse does not carry any muster. Their IS NO and CAN NEVER be; a reason to commit WARCRIMES. That is what our social fabric is held together by, isn`t it?
