the chilcot commission seems to not want to hold anyone legally to account for anything. its more about the idea that it's better for the legitimacy of the order as a whole that it can admit when it fucks up.
i kinda like that idea.
like a truth commission, except one that hangs american conservatism out to dry for what it actually is responsible for.
but as for legal questions: i have nothing like the expertise that's required to talk about that and messageboard fulminations dont have the charm they once might have, so i dunno.

i don't think the problem is the poor individuals who found themselves in the line of fire. not at all.
it's the neo-con asshats whose cavalier relation to reality put them there who are the problem.

even now.
