BuzzFlash fully supports trying Bush, Cheney, and their band of fellow sadists for war crimes, but while they are in the courtroom, let's not forget Murder One. Apparently, many in the mainstream press and blogosphere already have.

The focus right now is on legal memos justifying the horrifying and numbing repetition of torture against "high profile" targets. We have a short memory in America -- and most of what was in these memos -- except for the diabolical excess of the waterboarding and the medieval torture by insects -- was, as President Obama has said, pretty much already known.

2. It's entirely possible that the guy they had on ice had no reason

to be in Abu Ghraib... and that goes for 80+ percent of the rest of them in there.

4. that would have been the charge against

Lydon Baines Johnsons in the sixties. 36,000 Americans, three million Vietnamese.
