Thanks, Tim! Ah... so, in Hamdam, the Supremes ruled that the proposed tribunals were not up to snuff with respect to the Treaty obligations! (I stand corrected.) ("4. The military commission at issue lacks the power to proceed because its structure and procedures violate both the UCMJ and the four Geneva Conventions signed in 1949. Pp. 49-72." & "d) The procedures adopted to try Hamdan also violate the Geneva Conventions....") But... I don't see where this establishes your contention that they have ALTERED the long-standing interpretation of the treaty any.... (More likely that the admin. was the one trying to alter how the treaty language had traditionally been interpreted, not the Court.)
