Quote: WASHINGTON -- At the request of the CIA, the Justice Department drafted a confidential memo that authorizes the agency to transfer detainees out of Iraq for interrogation, a practice that international legal specialists say contravenes the Geneva Conventions.
One intelligence official familiar with the operation said the CIA has used the March draft memo as legal support for secretly transporting up to a dozen detainees out of Iraq in the last six months. The agency has concealed the detainees from the International Red Cross and other authorities, the official said. | |
Again...I say what more are you guys wanting...the bad apples have been or are being taken care of..those who committed any crimes in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice as regards treatment of prisoners. So what more do you want?
As for the Geneva Conventions...they were originally penned by nations that stood by their word...in a different time..frankly the art of warfare and their system of targets have changed.....the insurgents don't see the need to follow it....neither should my boys..now..if they wanted to act civilized I would advocate following the Accords...but what is good for the goose..is also good for the gander.
