The GOP's tortured logic
The Republicans who now agree with the president that the War Crimes Act is too vague said something very different 10 years ago.
By Mark Benjamin [2006-09-19]

  • Vague?

    "I am asking Congress to list the specific recognizable offenses that would be considered crimes under the War Crimes Act," says Bush. Is that so he can get a de facto list of things that would not be considered crimes because they were not included? That's just a blank check for Bush to get creative in the exact ways he tortures people. Drilling people's joints isn't in there? It's fine then. Hot needles in their eyelids? Well, Congress didn't mention it, so they must be OK with it.
