shrub in ANOTHER piece of BIG trouble according to the Justice Department's own internal memos, the Bush-sanctioned policy of taking detainees out of Iraq without notifying the Red Cross may very well constitute a war crime under international law. The 1949 treaty notes that a violation of this particular provision constitutes a "grave breach" of the accord, and thus a "war crime" under U.S. federal law, according to a footnote in the Justice Department draft. Think about that folks. John Aschroft's own department admits that these actions that he sanctioned could be war crimes if everything isn't done perfectly (think naked pyramid piles, if you're wondering how perfectly the military follow's the letter of the law in these cases). War crimes. War crimes. War crimes. The United States of America. War crimes. In the same sentence. That's what Bush has brought us to. Let alone the fact that now our troops and our civilians may fall victim to war crimes that foreign powers justify using our Justice Department's own memo. Man I hope someone charges these bastards with war crimes. I'd love to know the process for doing so. Any international law experts out there?
