So, Cheney has "stay behinds" in the Pentagon. How about we use the Patriot Act

on these bums, eh?

1. That souned ominous

They were there until new staff was finally put into place which can take a while. So they're gone but that's cold comfort.

2. Only after Cheney is convicted

Then you can use the Patriot act to charge them with "aiding and abetting a war criminal"

3. I think that they would welcome the irony

of being interminably detained, without the right to representation, or even being charged with anything ... I mean, they're the ones who said that you can be thrown into a hole without having any real evidence against you, right?

4. Sort of depends at what level they are

If they are Civil Service with more than a year on the job, they can not be fired. Its a bit easier with SES that the GS crowd. Political appointees are already gone.
