Apparently in his book George admits or confesses to authorizing torture which is a violation of the Geneva Convention. Some countries are calling for his being brought up on Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes. Should be interesting. Apparently we tried people for that same crime.
The problem George has is we as a country agreed to not torture prisoners or war. George violated an agreement the United States had made and the United States said it was willing for our leaders to be punished if they violated such agreements. One of the last things Bill Clinton signed before he turned the reigns of power over to George was an agreement which we agreed to turn our leaders over to such powers for prosecution. Obama has to be careful because in Afghanistan he could find himself in the same pickel.
