Our Criminal President: "'The Court's decision further suggests that President Bush has already committed a war crime, simply by establishing the military tribunals [at Guant'namo] and subjecting detainees to them [because] the Court found that the tribunals violate Common Article 3 [of the Geneva Conventions]'and under the War Crimes Act, any violation of Common Article 3 is a war crime.'
What the Supreme Court said about those sham tribunals, which ignored American military law as well as the Geneva Conventions, was that according to the Geneva Conventions, prisoners' sentences must be handed down 'by a regularly constituted court' that 'provides all the judicial guarantees recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.'
