If misinformation, then it is misinformation that was published in hundreds of newspapers.
From the WashingtonPost article:
The risk of possible prosecution of officials, CIA officers and former service personnel over alleged rough treatment of prisoners arises because the Bush administration, from January 2002 until June, maintained that the Geneva Conventions' protections did not apply to prisoners captured in Afghanistan.
Do officials actually do the torture, or do they give commands? Ahh.. Furthermore, if a president ordered such an act, wouldn't this amendment absolve him?
From the article I originally posted, the lawyer that leaked this information to the press had this to say about the amendment he helped to draft:
Interrogation practices "follow from policies that were formed at the highest levels of the administration," said a fourth attorney, Scott Horton, who has followed detainee issues closely. "The administration is trying to insulate policymakers under the War Crimes Act."
The Bush administration drafted amendments to the War Crimes Act that would retroactively protect policymakers from possible criminal charges for authorizing any humiliating and degrading treatment of detainees, according to lawyers who have seen the proposal.
They know the shit can hit the fan for them. Actually, it gives me hope: The executive branch is still afraid of something..

I haven't bought a game system since the Atari 2600 and I am buying the Wii.
Or a Wii, free online play for years, AND 6-8 games or more to boot.
You're an idiot.

It may solve the problem, but it also sounds like a very boring place to hang out at.
It doesn't claim o do the impossible. It doesn't claim to find ALL the bugs. That would be ridiculous. However, finding bugs is not impossible.
Once I inherited a box full of mariachi music cds. I played indoor baseball with them. Ahh, those were the days.
I'm just guessing here, but I think.. umm.. yeah. To get rid of the human parser.
Are you sure? Have you read the paper, or just the over-simplified press release? Here is the paper: http://psiexp.ss.uci.edu/research/papers/i si2006.pdf

Good point. I concur.
It did not say: Far.
If far was a place then it would be capitalized.
Either the article omitted a 'the' or forgot an 'o' in too.
While it isn't a brilliant post, how can it be both off-topic and the number one tag?
Actually, I bet they'd like it on the new because that would represent a major breakthrough in freedom of speech.
