You guys still dont fully comprehend the implications of Bush pushing this legislation through Congress.

The protection from criminal charges is quite specific. It provides immunity for the President and the members of his party that have issued orders that contravene the Genena Conventions.

So if anyone in the US public or people and groups not covered by the Congress legislation decided to carry out their own actions that contravened the Geneva Conventions they would be prosecuted under the War crimes act (1966).

So this legislation is just a nice cosy little bit of fascist amendment that will allow a war criminal like George Bush and his henchmen to walk out of Washington without facing the criminal legal charges that should be brought agianst them.

GOD BLESS AMERICA
