“Clarifying” the Geneva Conventions

An excellent commentary by University of Toledo College of Law professor Benjamin Davis on the ploys by administration attorneys to shield officials from war crimes charges for torture:

If one is willing to take the scales from one’s eyes and just call things as they are, then the Bellingers are stopped in their tracks for their enabling of grave breaches and war crimes. That would be a clarification of American high-level civilian and military culpability that has been long delayed by efforts at spinning the War on Terror. It is a day of reckoning that is long awaited.
