I also think that you need to ask; what you are putting Cheney or any other Bush Administration officer on trial for?
The outing of a CIA NOC Officer for a purely political purpose. In the process destroying decades of work, destroying an intelligence network and jeopardizing the life of real patriots.
Spying on ordinary American citizens
Creating a torture policy
Utilizing a more or less personal mercenary army
Doing away with habeas corpus and 800+ years of very hard fought rights on a whim.
The USA is a country of laws of the people. The very first country entirely of laws of the people as opposed to laws of the king. It is "PRESERVE PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA... AGAINST ALL ENEMIES." Not trash the Constitution in a king like manner. I don't think ignoring what they did is an option.
