Ummmm.... no. That is what the GC is for. To set a standard by which everyone can agree on. Not more, not a projection of our Consitutional Rights afforded to us as US citizens to non-citizens. Ain't happening. We have made huge errors, don't get me wrong. I have friends who were at the Abu Ghraib prison immediately after the blow out. It was not pretty. As a soldier at the time I was not in a position to judge. Now, based on all we know, not enough of the top brass hung by their balls. History will be the judge. I have friend who to this day are in the active service of a number of agencies in the government. They do good work. They do it to the best of their abilities.
