"This disclosure presents a nested series of legal implications. "I predict that there will be calls for top administration officials to be prosecuted in an international court for war crimes," said Erwin Chemerinsky, a civil liberties expert who teaches at Duke University Law School. "This meeting supports the involvement of top officials -- including the president -- in approving torture."
New pressure for top Bush administration officials to be prosecuted in an international court of war crimes. Hard to imagine the McCain campaign seriously considering Condoleezza Rice as a vice presidential candidate given this information.

This is an interesting article that kind of indicates it's going to be a tough process but the last sentence, to me, says it all . . .
"Kmiec said that the ultimate arbitration of the torture debate will occur at the polls. "The way our constitutional system envisions accountability on questions such as this is accountability through electoral choice," he said. The president made his choice. The people will now make theirs." Thanks Krag.
