CNN.com is reporting today that Congress is moving quickly to pass a military bill preventing any “inhuman and degrading” treatment of terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. It goes on:

The legislation would prohibit “cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” of anyone in U.S. government custody anywhere in the world. It also would require that service members follow procedures in the Army Field Manual during interrogations of prisoners in Defense Department facilities.

What the fuck? Did I miss something? Isn’t this called the fucking Geneva Convention?

Jesus Christ, George - you’re actually publicizing a new bill being expedited through Congress to retroactively protect your own arse in an effort to ensure public support in how you have treated these prisoners in the past. It’s like a school bully saying they’re taking anger management classes after being found out they’d just knocked some kid’s teeth out in the playground.

The damage has been done.
