what the bush people fashioned as a pseudo-legal justification for torture violates international conventions that the united states is signatory of and should have opened bush administration people up to prosecution by, say, the international war crimes tribunal.
but the americans have a Problem with the international war crimes tribunal. especially conservative-nationalist types. part of this has to do with their seeming inability to concede that its possible for the united states to commit the main operative war crime, which is to lose a war.
