First let me clarify, by War on "Terror", I mean the accountability that will be faced by the administration leaving office now. Last week, we saw that Dick Cheney and Alberto Gonzalez were facing charges for their abuses in some private for profit prisons in Texas, one of Governor George W. Bush's legacies from running that state. Now we see two positive developments:

1. The abuses at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo were authorized by Donald Rumsfield personally and other senior officials.

2. The Supreme Court is evaluating whether the FBI director and attorney general can be sued for abuse to those illegally detained and abused in the post 9/11 era.

The Supreme Court's decision in that case on the culpability and liability of senior government officials for misconduct and illegal policies is key to holding this administration responsible for all its abuses.

Violating our constitution and the trust of the people of not only the US but of the world should not go unpunished. They should be brought to justice.
