Detainee Bill

This is really good. The Detainee Bill a big pile of bull shit! It gives Bush to much, way to much.

The bill gives the president the power to "interpret the meaning and application of the Geneva Conventions," a phrase that may clash with another part of the bill, which says, "Nothing in this section shall affect the constitutional functions and responsibilities of Congress and the judicial branch."

Now, can this idiot interprets anything without daddy or Chaney? Leaving anything up this freak is a "mess and sloder" waiting to happen.

So not anyone can be pulled in and tried under this and have no hope to a real court? So now this is all up to the wonderful minds of the military and BushCo? Man, I feel as safe as a frog on I-94.

Hearsay evidence is generally OK in these trials. A judge has to rule that the evidence is reliable and relevant to the case.

Great!@ So now all BushCo and their people have to do is say... "well, I know he/she did this" ...and it's ok because the Bush said it. It's reliable, the "President" said so. I think I just shit my paints a little.

Defendants can't be convicted on the basis of evidence they haven't seen. If classified documents are necessary to prove the defendant's guilt or innocence, the judge will give the defendant summaries or edited versions of the documents.

Is it just me or is there something really wrong with the above statement? How many of us really did graduate kindergarten? I mean really....come on...summaries and edited versions?!@ How about real facts?! My Gods this is shitty for us as Americans and for the world to allow!

The tribunals won't admit evidence obtained through torture. Evidence obtained through coercive interrogation tactics that the Bush administration doesn't consider torture (such as "waterboarding," where a detainee is made to believe he's drowning, or "stress positions," where a detainee is made to sit or stand in a painful position for extended periods of time) may be used under some circumstances.

So nothing really has changed, just different language. I see, "Under some circumstances", means that every time if they see fit and talk the talk right.

According to the bill, detainees held by the United States at any overseas location cannot file a lawsuit challenging their detention. This wipes out both pending and future lawsuits. The bill also says no one can file a lawsuit claiming a violation of their rights under the Geneva Conventions.

Nice one here isn't it. As always, the US can fuck up everything and never be help liable in any way shape or form.
