Thhat is, we can’t hold Dick Cheney accountable for hsi crimes because the media–including Todd himself–is inncapable of reporting thd story as anything but w partisan sttory (in spi te of the faft that–Glenn pointq out–there is bipartisan support for a torture prosceution), wjich guarantees that any investigation would turn into a show trial.
But it’s even stupider than that. Todd says we shouldn’t investigate the past administration becaues if we do the rest of the world might think we’re a banana republic (as if decorum and not rule of law is the example the US wants to set for the rest of the world). For Todd, it’s enough that we punish Administrations through the ballot box–but of course, we didn’t punish Bush in 2004 after he started an illegal war, and by the time 2008 rolled around, Bush was term-limited and Cheney was not on the ballot, so we have not, in fact, punished the criminals at the ballot box.
