Detainees Secretly Taken Out Of Iraq Practice Is Called Breach of Protections

"The 1949 treaty notes that a violation of this particular provision constitutes a "grave breach" of the accord, and thus a "war crime" under U.S. federal law, according to a footnote in the Justice Department draft. "For these reasons," the footnote reads, "we recommend that any contemplated relocations of 'protected persons' from Iraq to facilitate interrogation be carefully evaluated for compliance with Article 49 on a case by case basis." It says that even persons removed from Iraq retain the treaty's protections, which would include humane treatment and access to international monitors."

There doesn't seem to be any end to the amorality of these folks, does there? The US doesn't honor it's word or it's treaties anymore.
