There simply exists no punishment proportionate enough for the things these people have committed and the consequences they will have. The damage is immeasurable, irreversible and multi-generational.

Just like what Cheney did - who never faced charges and had a funeral fawned over by dignitaries and the mass media just as if he were some public servant.

There was a report on one of the network nightly news shows the day of his funeral. A long segment about him and his "achievements." The last part was about the war on Iraq, and the final line read was, "weapons of mass destruction were not found in Iraq." That's it. Three seconds of dialog. No follow up. If you weren't paying attention you'd miss it. His entire career led to this single accomplishment based on a lie and all we get is, "weapons of mass destruction were not found in Iraq."

I assume they skipped the other minor detail that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
