The part that dealt in depth with POWs was written in 1949, revising the earlier one from 1927.

And where is it written that we advocate torture of prisoners? FGS, we DON'T torture them...the President is merely asking for CLARIFICATION of what we can and cannot do, to protect American interrogators.

Why are you ALWAYS on "their" side?

Do you consider the abu graib stuff (Stripping people naked, having them pile on each other in human pyramids, making people masterbate and photographing them, sleep deprivation, long periods of forced standing, having dogs bark at crouched prisoners) toruture? Do you think it is permissible under the Geneva Convention as currently written? Did we do any of this to Jap or Kraut prisoners in WWII? Any naked pyramids, that kind of stuff? A lot of what went on in abu graib is a reflection of the lowered morals of modern America - the porn generation.
