Righteous Indignation

Bush and Cheney were War, Inc. Let the war crimes investigations begin.

You do the crime:
James Risen of the New York Times: the Bush administration "discouraged" investigation of a mass killing of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Taliban prisoners of war by the forces of Abdul Rashid Dostum, an American-backed warlord.
You do the time:
CNN: "President Obama has ordered national security officials to look into allegations that the Bush administration resisted efforts to investigate a CIA-backed Afghan warlord over the killings of hundreds of Taliban prisoners in 2001."
And when you realize those "Taliban prisoners of war" were just random people picked because the US was paying cash for prisoners, you realize how many innocent civilians were killed.
