Extradite Cheney and the other War Crimes Architects to the Hague and just get it over with.

Eli,
I can't help but think this is problematic for Obama:

I am for the torture memos release and don't favor prosecution of any former Bush officials.

I, too am having trouble with the sanctimony:

I agree with Jacoby. Context is important in this story.

It's all about the Rule of Law.

There's a sea change today with Obama opening the door. the pressures will not end. PRetty soon they're going to have Cheney on TV and ask him, "what's your defense, do you think you're guilty, by the way are you ready to go to jail for 5, 10 years (whatever)" and pretty soon he's going to have to start shutting up on the advice of counsel.

This is all due to grass roots pressure btw not Obama himself.
You'd think as brilliant harvard law review editor he'd know about shit like rule of law, etc.
