So now comes the latest salvo: a back-door
measure to legalize the same torture
techniques that the Pentagon rejected
this week. Stuck into the back of an
86-page bill, and obscured by a blizzard
of technicalities, the measures are
explicit about avoiding the Bush goons'
worst nightmare: criminal prosecution
for their very clear, very deliberate
and very self-aware violations of American law.
What's more, the bill would essentially
eliminate the U.S. Supreme Court as an
independent arbiter of the Constitution.
It specifically bars the Court from
drawing on the Geneva Conventions in
any ruling on Bush's torture regimen.
This despite the fact that the Geneva
strictures against torture have been
incorporated directly into U.S. law.
What Bush's new bill says, then, is
that the United State Supreme Court
is forbidden from citing United States
law to rule against torture.

And the jews want it that way!
