It is almost unbelievable how bad it has become, but I have to admit I was stunned to read that Col Lawrence Wilkerson, a top aide to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, has accused Vice President Cheney of ignoring a decision by President Bush on the treatment of prisoners in the war on terror and when asked if Cheney could be accused of war crimes, he basically said yes. Read the acual text:

When asked by the BBC’s Today if Mr Cheney could be accused of war crimes, he said: “It’s an interesting question.”

“Certainly it is a domestic crime to advocate terror,” he added.

“And I would suspect, for whatever it’s worth, it’s an international crime as well.”

This pretty stunning and given how politically weak Cheney is right now, it could be the end for him. It would certainly be a serious body blow to both him and Bush.
