Dick Cheney should be tried as a war criminal

55. OK

But how did the CIA burst into his office right after he told Wilkerson he was going to take out the BS part of the script? As a Viet Nam vet in I-Corps, he new that interrogation with torture was never clear or reliable. CP caved, or let himself believe that the info Tennet was feeding him was pure. Put him on trial for gross incompetence. Hell even Wilkson admits it was a hoax, why can't Powell? No real mea culpa, just the usual "darkest moment of my life" tripe espoused by careerists. How about shaving his head and making him beg like a mendicant in the squares of Baghdad asking the Iraqi people for forgiveness?

I just think he walks away waaay to clean here, and the fact that Wilkerson is a trusted voice on MSNBC gives him leeway he might not deserve. And I think that in many ways, Powell was one of our "better" generals, it's just that too many of them are horrible - horrible leaders, horrible thinkers, and morally bereft.
