I agree, and for that reason think we should pull out of the Geneva Conventions and the Convention Against Torture. There’s no reason why we need to be party to these treaties. All it does is make Americans legally liable for doing their jobs.

I read another poster who was under the impression that international treaty is in parity with the Constitution or trumps it.

Which of course is ridiculous and I don't agree with.
