War Crimes

George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, and most especially Alberto Gonzalez should be charged with war crimes. They are better than Eichmann in the sense that they have taken fewer lives. They are not much better than Eichmann in the sense that they are convinced that they are right, that their victims are wrong, and that the gap between right and wrong is so huge that no rules should apply to the way they treat the human beings they see as being in the wrong (and I think they correctly identify the parties who are in the wrong).
