It's nice to know I'm not the only one horrified by this. Of all the conventions to renig on I'm not sure the Geneva convention is one we want to back out of. This new law gives the president the right to interpret the rules of the Geneva convention how he sees fit which essentially means "torture away". He's only banned from mutilation, rape, and murder. Nevermind that torture is notorious for providing little to know useable intelligence. But hey...I'm sure there's a difference between regular torture and freedom torture. I miss my constitutional rights.
You know...I used to laugh when I'd read shit where people talked about America becoming a police state. Now it's not so funny. We seem to keep inching closer and closer.
