What might the future hold for Bush, Rummy and Cheney?

Here's a hint, from Surviving to tell the tale of torture by Olga Talamante Los Angeles Times 03/25/06:

As Argentina marked the 30th anniversary of the military coup last week, ex-Gen. Jorge Rafael Videla, key implementer of that dirty war, was under house arrest, with thousands of people camped outside his home. The former general has been convicted for multiple cases of robbery, homicide, aggravated false arrests, torture and torture resulting in death between 1976 and 1981. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment. The people are demanding that he serve out that sentence.

Iraq has become our dirty war. To those who defend torture there, beware. There will be survivors, and they will tell their stories.
And, apart from the civilians in this administration who concocted the torture policy, some of our infallible generals had probably better think carefully before they take vacations in countries that are members of the International Criminal Court.

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."
