Bush's war crimes

Blogger Mark Kleiman connects the dots and demonstrates that from the evidence already available to the public, based upon media reports as well as the President's own admissions, this administration has virtually confessed to committing war crimes against alleged al Qaeda prisoners in CIA custody.

This applies not only under international law (ie: Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which the US is a signatory of) but also US law (18 U.S.C. 2340, 18 U.S.C. 2441), as interpreted by the Supreme Court's Hamden decision.
