It is so good to see someone of Cohn's stature calling for the revocation of the Military Commissions Act.

Paul Craig Roberts said today at http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article19374.htm:

"The Gitmo trials are show trials. Their only purpose is to create the precedent that the executive branch can ignore the U.S. court system and try people in the same manner that innocent people were tried in Stalinist Russia and Gestapo Germany. If the Bush regime had any real evidence against the Gitmo detainees, it would have no need for its kangaroo military tribunal."

Further, he says:

"Without the impeachment of Bush and Cheney, America can never recover. The precedents for unaccountable government established by the Bush administration are too great, their damage too lasting. Without impeachment, America will continue to sink into dictatorship in which criticism of the government and appeals to the Constitution are criminalized. We are closer to executive rule than many people know."

Investigation of Cheney for war crimes is certainly a good start. Thank you to Marjorie for showing us the legal ramifications and to the editors for linking this article.
