WASHINGTON, May 29 (UPI) -- Richard Clarke, the top counterterrorism official for the Bush administration, said he believes the former president, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld committed war crimes in the course of the Iraq war.
"I think things that they authorized probably fall within the area of war crimes. Whether that would be productive or not, I think, is a discussion we could all have," Clarke told Democracy Now! in an interview that will air next week.
