		<description><![CDATA[They [George Bush and Dick Cheney] should have been indicted. They absolutely should have been indicted for torturing, for spying, for arresting without warrants. I&#8217;d like to say they should be indicted for lying but believe it or not, unless you&#8217;re under oath, lying is not a crime. At least not an indictable crime.
