So, Cheney has "stay behinds" in the Pentagon. How about we use the Patriot Act |

They were there until new staff was finally put into place which can take a while. So they're gone but that's cold comfort.

2. Only after Cheney is convicted |
|
Then you can use the Patriot act to charge them with "aiding and abetting a war criminal"

3. I think that they would welcome the irony |
|
of being interminably detained, without the right to representation, or even being charged with anything ... I mean, they're the ones who said that you can be thrown into a hole without having any real evidence against you, right?

4. Sort of depends at what level they are |
|
If they are Civil Service with more than a year on the job, they can not be fired. Its a bit easier with SES that the GS crowd. Political appointees are already gone.
