Todays YouTube of the day is a clip from CNN Newsroom. As a general rule I try not to post anything that the mainstream media reports, but the guy who gives this report is actually fairly accurate, surprisingly enough. To go along with the video, I found the text of the bill. In plain English it says NOBODY has the power to prosecute Bush or anyone in his administration for any possible war crimes, and it applies retroactively all the way back to 9/11. So much for the Geneva Convention.
… no court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider any other action against the United States or its agents relating to any aspect of the detention, transfer, treatment, trial, or conditions of confinement of an alien detained by the United States who–
`(A) is currently in United States custody; and
`(B) has been determined by the United States to have been properly detained as an enemy combatant or is awaiting such determination.’.
(b) Effective Date- The amendments made by subsection (a) shall take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act, and shall apply to all cases, without exception, pending on or after the date of the enactment of this Act which relate to any aspect of the detention, transfer, treatment, trial, or conditions of detention of an alien detained by the United States since September 11, 2001.
