Crisis!  Bush Admin. Rewriting the War Crimes Act

Thanks for posting this, suzq. Yours is much comprehensive.
I've read this WP article on MSNBC.com. For me, the most worrisome was this part:

"This removal of [any] reference to humiliating and degrading treatment will be perceived by experts and probably allies as 'rewriting' " the Geneva Conventions, said retired Army Lt. Col. Geoffrey S. Corn, who was recently chief of the war law branch of the Army's Office of the Judge Advocate General. Others said the changes could affect how foreigners treat U.S. soldiers.

Again, they just keep on trying to dump the dignity of international law with ignorance and throw our least pride as Americans with common sense.
