The Administration Has Committed War Crimes
Detainee abuse charges feared.
War crimes have been committed, but of course, there is no expectation of any prosecution. Yet, here is a U.S. law that could conceivably be used against those involved in detainee abuse. What about the people who wrote all those memos approving torture? Would they be liable?
No, because congress will gut this law. A law that makes the greatest sense given the U.S. self-image of 10 years ago. And now? The country is apparently supposed to accept the role of torturer.
