Jonathan Turley is a professor of Constitutional Law at George Washington University. He makes a powerful case as to why Bush, Cheney and company must to be tried as we owe it to America and the rest of the world. Turley has repeatedly spoken about this issue on Keith Olbermann's show and on the Rachel Maddow Show.
I have written on this issue before and I believe that Bush, Cheney and company have committed crimes against humanity, war crimes and torture. If we let this go because the US is the most powerful nation in the world, then it would be a grave injustice and a dangerous precedent. The rest of the world will feel free to carry out similar activities. There will be no moral authority left to prosecute others when we do not prosecute Bush, Cheney and company.
Here are the transcripts from the Rachel Maddow Show as well as the video.
Also, an interesting special comment by Keith Olbermann on the same issue.
