Just further re-inforces that fact that when you create "gray area" in whether torture is allowed while simulataneously saying no laws or treaties apply and providing exemption from prosectution to the people involved, then bad things will happen.

I dont see the point in such treaties if we are the only ones who have to follow them...

What is kinda sad is that there was an environment directly created by these orders from the white house that condoned abuse and that envoronment made it's way via the CIA and Military police to Abu Ghraid prison.

Conveiently ambiguous. If you can prove this was Bush policy, I will jump on the bandwagon of condemnation.
Bush is innocent until you can PROVE he is guilty. He is not guilty by default. I have seen no evidence so far that this was Bush policy.

This England girls boyfriend with a sadistic streak took that environment as a blank check to abuse people and this dumb girl went along and ended up with her face is all these photos.

And I am all for punishing them severely. I have said in the past that what they did is equivilent to treason IMO. Torture in that context should be punishable by life at best, death at worst. If we do not enforce such penalties it wont discourage such behavior in the future.

I personaly think the secret doctrines by President Bush are a criminal act

I would agree if you can prove it. I am not going to assume so by default though.
