It's a wonk and a joke when you mention prosecuting these people, on liberal blogs, conservative blogs, wherever you mention it, it ain't gonna happen, we're all to realpolitik, you know.
But deep inside the Bush administration, they've been focussed on avoiding prosecutions from day one, with dead seriousness. They need the surety of a Republican president, they don't care if they have to elect Donald Duck to do it. They desperately need a seat on the Supreme Court to ensure they won't be prosecuted for the war crimes. They have supporters, most among the 'law and order' crowd. If they have to, they'll use violence.
Put them in jail or lose your democracy.
