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?

roachboy, in his press conference of Nov. 2, NSC's Stephen Hadley assured all of us that the Bush & Co. if it is sanctioning secret CIA detention centers, will bring any abusive CIA personnel to account if they do indeed abuse or torture detainees.......just a week after Cheney demanded that CIA personnel be given advance immunity by Congress for any abuses that they might commit.
We're going back and forth here with an opposition that "feels" it's political opinions. They demonstrate that their opinions are immune to the influences of fact. I post to an assumed larger audience that is influenced by rational, documented argument.
