War Crimes: Let's Start That Conversation

Andrew Sullivan piece from over the weekend in a UK paper. When will the War Crimes question cross the pond?

"The evidence we now have, undisputed evidence, proves already that war crimes were indeed committed – by the president and vice-president on down. I mean: why else Guantanamo Bay and secret black sites if the president believed he was obeying domestic American law?

There is, in the end, a simple and sobering truth: these people have to be brought to justice if the rule of law is to survive in America. In his constitutional soul, Obama knows this."

Seems Andrew is dreaming of the chance to prosecute these villains, and why not. I hope these charges dog Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld to their dying days.
