War Criminals in High Places in the United States

From a post by Tom Ricks on his blog The Best Defense:

In February 1968, a U.S. soldier was court-martialed simply for holding down a Vietnamese man while two Vietnamese soldiers waterboarded him, according to Guenter Lewy's America in Vietnam. (329)

I mention this because both George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney now have publicly admitted they were approving of waterboarding, a form of torture that once was a crime in the eyes of the U.S. government -- and still is under international laws.

I'm hoping George Bush gets an itch to visit Europe. I'm thinking a trip to England would be appropriate!
