Mr Bush said the interrogation of the terror suspects would have to end if the new laws were not passed. “This programme won’t go forward if there’s vague standards applied like those in the Geneva Conventions,” he said.
From The Guardian
Vague like this?
(Article 17): “No physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion, may be inflicted on prisoners of war to secure from them information of any kind whatever. Prisoners of war who refuse to answer may not be threatened, insulted or exposed to unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment of any kind.”
From the Geneva Convention
If you can’t prove someone is guilty then you HAVE to et them go. Otherwise we’re all guilty.
