War Crimes Prosecutions in the U.S.? Dream On
Marc Ambinder says it's a "hidden secret[] in Washington that a Democratic Justice Department is going to be very interested in figuring out whether there's a case to be made that senior Bush Administration officials were guilty of war crimes." If so, it's news to me. Remember that sections 8 and 6(b) of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 effectively insulated government officials from liability for many of the violations of the War Crimes Act they might have committed during the period prior to 2006.
