War Crimes

A federal judge dealt a strong blow to the Bush administration's treatment of the approximately 550 war criminals enemy combatants held at Guantanamo Bay. While the Bush administration is "outraged" at the decision, the ACLU and other human rights activists are elated. Ironically, in 1996, the Republican-controlled Conress passed the War Crimes Act which considers any "grave breach" of the Geneva Convention by a U.S. official to be a domestic felony, potentially punishable by the death penalty. The Bush administration is arguing that soldiers on the "evildoers" side of the War on Terror are not war criminals, but enemy combatents, and thus not subject to protection under the Geneva Convention. Sure seems like semantics to me. Today's judge agreed, but what will this mean for the future? Could the President by tried for war crimes?
