There is no doubt that a world court could indict Bush and Cheney for crimes against humanity in the bombing and other offenses against the people of Afghanistan and Iraq. Neither of those governments carried on acts of aggression against the United States. They might also be indicted for violating the international laws of war. The occupation of Iraq is illegal. The confinement of suspected political enemies of the administration in a prison camp in Cuba is illegal. Collusion in the transportation of suspected enemies of the country to third countries in order that the individuals be tortured is illegal. But these are not offenses that violate the constitutional powers vested in the chief executive and the vice president. Peter Charles Hoffer
