Reply #2: Yes, it's come to that.

I was watching "Stalag 17" the other night and just lost it during the scene when the International Red Cross/Geneva Conventions inspector comes to the barracks to make sure all the American prisoners are being treated well. The inspector cautions/reminds several German officers that "once the war is over, you know, there will be war crimes trials" for those who didn't observe the Geneva Conventions.

Wow -- Bush and Rumsfeld are even more clever than the Nazis. They had enough foresight to unsign treaties (I didn't even know that was possible) and to get the UN to exempt American troops from prosecution.
