It is easy, the Bush Administration is now taking action to try to make legal, they illegal acts they ordered.
Citing unidentified U.S. officials, the newspaper said the administration plans to amend the 1996 War Crimes Act, which makes it a crime to violate the Geneva Conventions, by narrowing the number of potential criminal prosecutions.
Only 10 specific categories of illegal acts against wartime detainees, including torture, murder, rape and hostage-taking, could be prosecuted under the amendments, it said.
Lets hope that our representives in congress have the wisdom to avoid rubber stamping a law that tries to overturn the protections we have in the Geneva Accords.
