Default Should Bush grant himself IMMUNITY from WAR CRIMES?

Not only that, President Bush also made the legisaltion retroactive which will mean that this immunity from prosecution will be back dated to September 11 2001.

We know that the War Crimes Act in the USA makes it a felony offence to contravene the Geneva Conventions.

What is Bush afraid of?

I thought that GOD tells him what to do. I thought that GOD told him to invade Iraq. I thought that Bush's military actions were based on moral grounds - GOOD vs EVIL.

I asked about this but no one has heard of what you are saying. If they have, I'd be interested in knowing what, exactly, is going on.

I've heard of it in passing. Appearantly Bush tried to pass some legislation giving himself and his administration immunity for anything they might have done that was illegal. I don't really know any details, but it was typical Bush asshattery.

Congress approved the Iraq war. If Bush gets tried, nearly the entire Senate will be just as guilty of your fairy tale war crimes.

It's a felony to disregard the Geneva Convention, regardless of what the enemy does. What's retarded is thinking that torturing Al Queda memebers will do anything but make more people join Al Queda.

Wow. I wish to examine this statement in great detail since it seems to indicate an enormous misunderstanding of the world, history, law, politics, and reality. A felony according to who? What is it that you believe gives authority to the Geneva convention? By whose authority do you think it is enforced?

OMG, I can't believe I am wasting my time here....Please respond with something amusing, if not interesting.

Felony according to federal law. The War Crimes Act of 1996, to be specific. It's enforced by our government. Maybe you should do a little research before you get carried away with how stupid I am.
