Are you familiar with some of the interrogation tactics used and encouraged by the us military? The american armed forces are responsible for so many human rights violations since 9/11 that it'd be pretty sick to not consider those calling the shots war criminals. George Bush and his Generals are no better than any other war criminal. Just becuase he is your leader and you are standing behnd him, doe snot make his actions any less what they are. If the republican party is indeed trying to pass a bill protcting them from these charges, it is for one reason and one reason only. They are fully aware of the possibility that they could come under fire and be held accountable for their actions in the future. they know what is going on, and they want to make sure their asses are covered ahead of time...
