I'm skeptical that it has the far-reaching implications you cite. It was essentially make both the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Conventions (both of which the US is party to) inoperable, since both primarily relate to actions in wartime. It also seems to contradict Missouri v. Holland (252 U.S. 416, concerning the enforcability of treaty provisions beyond the scope of domestic law). Finally, since these tribunals are also illegal under American law (see Ex Parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2, <A HREF="http://news.findlaw.com/wp/docs/gitmo/inregitmo13105opn.pdf" REL="nofollow">In Re Guantanamo Detainee Cases</A>, Hamdi v. Rumsfeld), inoperability of international law, even if true, is irrelevant.David Schraubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946653376744012423noreply@blogger.com
