Newsrack: Interview with an interrogator

Submitted by R. Neal on Tue, 2008/06/24 - 10:38am.

Thomas Nephew's Newsrack:

All of us were trained in the Law of Land Warfare and the Geneva Conventions, which these “enhanced interrogation techniques” are clearly a violation of.. But Private Snuffy is confused: “didn’t the United States Attorney General, the top law enforcement official in the land, muddy the waters by saying that it was legal? And didn’t the president say that these folks don’t fall under the Geneva Conventions? So what about those rules they taught me?”

Read the whole thing. Interesting discussion in comments, too.
