Prosecute Rummy and the Rest

I've heard some conversations (on Fresh Air, blogs, etc.) about the feasibility of prosecuting Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest for torture.
Ex: the new AG, Holder, said that waterboarding was torture - Cheney admitted to authorizing it - and torture is a felony carrying a 20yr sentence.
Unfortunately this won't happen - although it probably should. Tom Ricks thinks we should have a "truth and reconciliation"commission like South Africa - which is more feasible - but probably just as unlikely to happen.
