Mr Cheney is certainly entitled to his opinion, but a lot of people on this planet, including me, don't agree and would like to see him put on trial for war crimes.

I think Dick Cheney and his comments embody everything that is wrong with our foreign policy. Our decision to torture will keep the US in danger for generations to come. Those images of what we did and the release of this absurd report are all going to ensure future generations in plenty of nations around the globe will continue to view the US as imperialistic, unnecessarily interfering in the actions in way too many nations, unable to be trusted, and overall is a danger to others since we are willing to suspend our principles with striking consistency.
Because we decided to go with torture, we turned enemy combatants into victims in too many eyes around the globe. Because Cheney is asinine enough to suggest he would go with torture again that confirms he would continue to endanger Americans (and our allies.)
and odds are would not result in action that is meaningful. But listening to this blowhard talk about what we should and should not do, should tell the rest of us he would be unfit to be in a position to make such decisions now or ever. As such, it is not likely that he will hold any future political office. His views are one reason, his health is another, his comments confirm the idea of a future political term for Cheney would be amazingly reckless.War Crimes is a stretch

Wrong.
The USA hanged Japanese soldiers after WWII because they waterboarded American POWs. That's a fact.
Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.
You don't think that Hillary and Biden would make a fine pair?
I'm sure that SNL would love to see that happen. :roll:

That is not what I said, what I said was "War Crimes is a stretch and odds are would not result in action that is meaningful." That was not a comment the evidence,I still doubt he would no matter what is found on our torture program.it was a comment about the likelihood that Dick Cheney would be found guilty of anything.
If Cheney lived long enough to be put on trial I believe that he would be found guilty, but that's not going to happen for reasons that I won't go into.

speaking of goose and gander...what sentence did Emperor Hirohito or his executive staff receive?
nevermind, it's a trick question.... they weren't even prosecuted, let alone convicted......( the very people you want to see prosecuted are the ones that won't be)
which resulting in the execution and imprisonments of thousands?may I ask why you seem to support the application of Ex Post Facto law
What Cheney and the other war criminals from the G.W. Bush mis-administration did and should be put on trial for were war crimes when they did those nasty deeds.
well, not according to legal counsel... but i can see the argument.
my ex post facto comment was about Japanese being executed and imprisoned for similar "crimes"... that weren't crimes at the time they were perpetrated.
yes, we executed and imprisoned those folks.. we also interned our own citizens ... our courts allowed both to happen.
I'm not sure that is the sort of behavior we need to be holding on a pedestal, though.
in any event, it's wishful thinking.... there will be no prosecutions.. no convictions.. no nothing.
even if you ( the universal "you")believe in the farce that is "war crimes"..you will get no satisfaction.
I'll believe that when the people we're talking about are dead and buried.
Until then there's a chance that they'll be put on trial.
