why should there not be consequences?
what domestic body is capable of holding someone like dick cheney to account for this kind of action, this policy?
this is not a technical question of jurisidictions--that would be another matter--but in principle, what possible process would you have in mind that could stop such policies on the part of a standing administration from within the united states?

No I'm not ruling out the possibility or that Bush should not be held accountable in the instance of wrong doing, I just don't think he did anything wrong whether legally or morally.
The EU is entitled to investigate, hell go to town for all I care, they are not American, they have no say in our sovereign affairs, and I would go totally ape shit if they did.
If Dick Cheney did something wrong, then he will get checked by our legal system, he will be held accountable. But since the line of action towed by the administration has been both historically and recently upheld by the Supreme Court and lower federal courts, found to be in tune with the spirit of our constitution, then obviously nothing will happen to him, the man did nothing wrong.
