Cheney on Trial?

Alec Baldwin has an interesting take on Dick Cheney on Huffington Post today:

"Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately. Who ever thought Harry Whittington would be the answer to America's prayers. Finally, someone who might get that lying, thieving Cheney into a courtroom to answer some direct questions."

Baldwin evidently thinks that Whittington will take Cheney to court in a civil suit. No such luck, Alec. Whittington is a good, loyal Republican. If he's called upon to take one (in the face and chest) for the team, he will gladly do so.

So I sincerely doubt that we'll see Cheney on the stand in a civil trial involving this incident.

That doesn't mean he's not a terrorist, however. Or a war criminal, which is probably a more accurate way of putting it. After all, since this administration did to Iraq what the Germans did to Poland, I don't see why they shouldn't be held responsible, sooner or later, for their actions.
