'These are, simply, crimes,' paper says of CIA interrogation program former vice president championed

On the heels of the Senate Intelligence Committee's blistering report on the CIA's brutal handling of prisoners after 9/11, the New York Times is calling for a criminal investigation of former Vice President Dick Cheney and other members of the Bush administration for conspiring to commit torture and other crimes prohibited by federal and international laws.

"Americans have known about many of these acts for years," the Times editorial board stated on Monday. "But the 524-page executive summary of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report erases any lingering doubt about their depravity and illegality."

When will Obama and Hillary be investigated for sponsoring and approving of the war crime torture, abuse, and murder of a POW named Momar Gaddafi?

RE:”NYT to Obama: Appoint prosecutor to investigate Cheney for torture”

File this with the fantasy ‘Impeach Obama’ calls.

Obama wont go after Cheney for the same reason why the next POTUS wont go after Obama.

Or why Pelosi never tried impeachment of Bush.

It doesn't work that way.

if the collapse ever comes, one bright spot will be the commissions set up to put all the treasonous media on trial.

I wonder what conservative would do if Cheney and/or Bush are brought to court over torturing the terrorists.

Likely nothing of consequence. :(

Someone needs to bring the New York Times to trial over torturing America with lies and slander.

Same here. The Slimes is the commie rag of choice of ISIS, the Taliban and Al Qaeda only because they know that the America haters down at the Slimes have their back.

Another smoke-screen to cover obama miss-administration failures.

Constitutionally, the VPOTUS is President of the Senate and has no other authority to execute laws of the land. If they’re suggesting going after someone, It would have to be the POTUS. But then, who gives a whit about the Constitution these days...

This is satire right? Right? RIGHT?
