Detainee Abuse Charges Feared
Shield Sought From '96 War Crimes Act
By R. Jeffrey Smith

Friday, July 28, 2006
An obscure law approved by a Republican-controlled Congress a decade
ago has made the Bush administration nervous that officials and troops
involved in handling detainee matters might be accused of committing
war crimes, and prosecuted at some point in U.S. courts.
Senior officials have responded by drafting legislation that would
grant U.S. personnel involved in the terrorism fight new protections
against prosecution for past violations of the War Crimes Act of 1996.
That law criminalizes violations of the Geneva Conventions governing
conduct in war and threatens the death penalty if U.S.-held detainees
die in custody from abusive treatment.

No doubt. Bush says he's worried about military personnel being
brought up on charges, but HIS ***** is going to be in a sling if
the political winds change in November.
I think the only thing keeping him from being impeached right
now is the neocon-controlled Congress. There's just too much
dirt on him already, and I'm sure it's just the tip of the
iceberg. How many times has Bush declined to turn over
documents to an investigative committee claiming 'Executive
Privilege' ?? Too many times to count on two hands.

I'd like to think it doesn't pass, but somehow I doubt that will happen.
these folks are going to get away with war crimes. At least in the US -
nothing stopping other countries from holding trials for international war
crimes.
