Will the bill of the US president for interpreting (or modifying, according to some) the Geneva Convention pass?

18 September 2006
2:28 am GMT +3 (Day light's saving time on)
Cairo, Egypt 30n03, 3231e15


Another related question just minutes later;

Is the CIA and/or other US authorities already engaged in certain practices that are against the Geneva Convention and thus are striving to pass an interpretation that will let them get away with it?

Same data, only at 2:37 am.​

Sadly, I don't need the chart to answer these questions: yes(with compromises) and yes. And you can bet the pope's words were timed to help paint the picture of good vs. evil and the clash of civilizations. It's so painful to watch it all unfold, isn't it?

Actually, the story around here is that more and more personnel are refusing to torture and that's why he wants to reassure them it's "allowed".
