Proving, once again, that any deal with Bush is a bad deal, for decency and humanity.
Bush terror deal could leave room for tough tactics:
WASHINGTON -- A Republican deal on terrorism trials and interrogations would give President Bush wide latitude to interpret standards for prisoner treatment, even though it doesn't include a provision he wanted on the Geneva Conventions.
The resulting legislation, if passed next week, would revive the CIA's terrorist interrogation program because it would reduce the risk that agency workers could be found guilty of war crimes. The deal also could open the door to techniques that test the bounds of international standards of prisoner treatment.
