War Crimes Act Changes Would Reduce Threat Of Prosecution


This is outrageous!

It will further isolate our country in the global community and prove to the whole world what most already believe:

The U.S is a rogue state that has no respect for International law that is respected by every other civilized nation on earth, as well as by the U.S., until the illegitimate, criminal Bushites took over the country.

Whatver happens, it will not change Geneva, and we can only hope that International law will prevail, and the Bushites will find themselves in the Dock at the Hague.

War Crimes Act Changes Would Reduce Threat Of Prosecution:

The Bush administration has drafted amendments to a war crimes law that would eliminate the risk of prosecution for political appointees, CIA officers and former military personnel for humiliating or degrading war prisoners, according to U.S. officials and a copy of the amendments.

Officials say the amendments would alter a U.S. law passed in the mid-1990s that criminalized violations of the Geneva Conventions, a set of international treaties governing military conduct in wartime. The conventions generally bar the cruel, humiliating and degrading treatment of wartime prisoners without spelling out what all those terms mean.
