I say, sadly, you would be wasting your breath, for I'm sure they are immune to any prosecution. A hearing, as usual would cost the taxpayers millions of dollars, making a bunch of lawyers tons of money, with no real consequence.
Sadly, I agree. This is one of Obama's biggest screwups - that he did not insist on a full, real, objective, legally-driven investigation into the evidence that indicates members of the Bush administration were involved in war crimes.
Granted that it would be difficult to convene a truly objective panel to perform such an investigation, given the partisanship that is so prevalent. Difficult, not impossible.
The evidence of war crimes is substantial... even the publicly available evidence. The fact that the US failed miserably to even investigate is a disgrace. One more example of the US attitude that international laws are for other countries, not this one.
However, this topic should not be laid to rest so easily... people are still dying, everyday, because of these people's decisions. That, is a tragedy, if not a gross crime!
A crime it is. And one more brick in the load that will lead to the eventual demise of the US.
