Bush was given the power to interpret the rules of the Geneva convention without changing the existing laws,, so he can cover his butt and his subordinates from prosecution under the laws,, retroactive of course to the beginning of the war in Iraq,, he also has the power to hold his secret prisoners,, have military tribunals,, and continue to torture enemy combatants any way he determines to be necessary,, using his own conscience,,, in other words,,
George W. is judge, jury and executioner

So are you saying that while the sex-obsessed Democrats were blathering on about an insignificant like Foley, they miss the ball on the torture bill?
Hence why Dems don't win national elections.

Yes, in essence, Bush got exactly the bill he wanted. We can only hope that this new breed of "enabler act" is overturned soon...before any non-conservatives are rounded up and placed in the concentration camps bushco is building in the US.

You need to get on CNN's site and look at the actual bill, but yes he basically got what he wanted.

Yes, the bill passed this past weekend. Bushco did not want more negative publicity than he was already getting.

Once McCain and his little group of rebels agreed with Bush it was all over. That happened before Jail Bait Gate.

Indeed the multitudinous crimes of the Dumbya Coup mostly don't involve sex, but sex sells and generates network share points.

Does not surprise me at all. They are pretty good at doing things at the most "opportune" times.
