In the ongoing deck of cards theme there is now the War Profiteers card deck. Part of their intro:

The War Profiteers Card Deck exposes some of the real war criminals in the US�s endless War of Terror. This is no Sunday bridge club. These are individuals and institutions that stack the deck against democracy in the rigged game of global power.

Cheney on Trial?

From the Connecticut Law Tribune via Today’s Legal News

Vice President Richard Cheney may be added to the list of defendants in Dallas accounting fraud cases, if Colchester, Conn.-based Scott & Scott prevails in its federal court bid to overturn a pending $6 million settlement….
During that period, both Cheney and his successor CEO David Lesar shared responsibility, but only Lesar was named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Neil Rothstein, a Pennsylvania-based partner in Scott & Scott, said Richard Schiffrin did not name Cheney as a defendant, despite liability exposure, because it would be “inappropriate” to do so during the war on Iraq.

Somebody please help me understand why this was inappropriate.
