We thought when we threw out Republicans in 2008 that there WOULD be some accountability for these criminals who lied a country into a disastrous war, the effects of which are still ongoing and will be for generations.
Instead it was Obama who immediately told us that we were not going to do that, we were going to move forward. That was a shock. At least to anyone who believes in the rule of law, who believes that torturers should be in jail and who cares anything about this country.
But to try to ignore the reasons why this country refuses to prosecute its war criminals when it suits us?? THAT is why Cheney is not in jail.
Greenwald is correct. The question is, why is this administration protecting this horrible, arrogant, lying, SOBs when all they get in return is disdain and disrespect? WHY?
