Legal Theory

The US ignored the Geneva Conventions, and illegally asserted because something was or was not torture it fulfilled its legal obligations. The Standard is Geneva; the US failed to meet the Geneva Standard. [ Summary Charts ]

Ref Legislative retroactive grants of immunity for war crimes are illegal assertions of Judicial Power.

Ref It is frivolous to argue that something is or isn't torture, when abuse is the Geneva standard; and the prisoner treatment is abusive.
