A top aide to former Secretary of State Colin Powell has launched a stinging attack on US Vice-President Dick Cheney over abuse of prisoners by US troops.

Col Lawrence Wilkerson accused Mr Cheney of ignoring a decision by President Bush on the treatment of prisoners in the war on terror.

Asked by the BBC's Today if Mr Cheney could be accused of war crimes, he said: "It's an interesting question."

"Certainly it is a domestic crime to advocate terror," he added.

"And I would suspect, for whatever it's worth, it's an international crime as well."

2. Sounds like pointing fingers at Cheney while relinquishing blame

from bu$h. Sorry but the buck stops where? These allegations of torture and war crimes have been ongoing, with no action to put a stop to them. Cheney reports to Bush, who if I recall correctly, has not fired his Vice President. The entire administration is to blame!
