Bush seeks legal immunity from war crimes

[iROBOT]

Do Islamo fascists who have attacked in the US, Mumbai, Bali, Ankara, Madrid and London follow the Geneva Convention?

What does one do when their enemies don't ascribe to the established rules of warfare?

When I used this term to describe Islamic extremism I was soundley rounded on by the like of Dub',ViolentPanda and Teejay...why are you getting away with it??

This thread isn't about so-called "Islamo-fascists", it's about your crooked president seeking immunity from the crimes he knows he's guilty of.

It was answered but you are stupid and missed it. I answered it through the city council statement.

Oh lord, you would have an excuse if you were an acme scarred 14 year old anarchist. But you don't even have that excuse

"Acme scarred"? Fuck me, you're thick. You know what the word "acme" means I take it and I also presume you have seen Looney Tunes cartoons too.

I'm so glad most Americans aren't like you.

This appears to be the legislation.

Retroactive War Crime Protection Proposed
by Pete Yost

The Bush administration drafted amendments to the War Crimes Act that would retroactively protect policymakers from possible criminal charges for authorizing any humiliating and degrading treatment of detainees, according to lawyers who have seen the proposal.

Two attorneys said that the draft is in the revision stage but that the administration seems intent on pushing forward the draft's major points in Congress after Labor Day. The two attorneys spoke on condition of anonymity because their sources did not authorize them to release the information.

"I think what this bill can do is in effect immunize past crimes. That's why it's so dangerous," said a third attorney, Eugene Fidell, president of the National Institute of Military Justice.
