Torture

Here's what I don't understand...

If Bush is unwilling to tell Matt Lauer what specific techniques he's looking for clarification on because he doesn't want the enemy to know since they might adapt, then how can he ask Congress for clarification on tactics if their response is going to be public record?

Or...is it going to be a secret pact between just the White House and Congress...then, uhm...what's the point?

And...how is somebody going to 'adjust' for the kinds of torture they'll likely undergo?

Here are the facts. Article 3 of the Geneva Convention clearly states:

In the case of armed conflict not of an international character occurring in the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties, each party to the conflict shall be bound to apply, as a minimum, the following provisions:

1. Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.

To this end the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:

(a) Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;

(b) Taking of hostages;

(c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment;

(d) The passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.

What part of that is confusing?
