It Doesn't Make any Difference what US Law Says about Geneva

Editor & Publisher had a good piece yesterday:

Tony Snow conducted one of his most fascinating briefings today in his relatively short time as White House press secretary.

Most
of it had to do with the administration's attempt to redefine -- or as
it claims, simply make clearer -- certain key parts of the Geneva
Convention's rules on torture and interrogation. In the course of it,
Snow charged that former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who had just
written a letter critical of this move, was "confused" about the
matter, and several key GOP senators, including John McCain, similarly
not on the right path.

That's right, everyone's all freaked out about torture and the Geneva Convention because the whole thing's so confusing.
