 Bush has Christmas come early
From the article | Quote: | The Cheny-McCain deal reverses two historic decisions by the Supreme Court: the 2004 ruling that gave detainees the right to bring suits in US federal courts, and last summer's declaration that Bush's military tribunals, with their classified evidence and testimony obtained through torture, were unlawful. Here, the court also said that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention, which bans torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, applied even at Guantanamo and in the CIA gulag. As a result, the CIA's most 'rigorous' interrogation methods, such as 'light' physical contact and the notorious 'waterboarding', were prohibited. According to Bush before Thursday's deal, this was a dangerous impediment to national security.
