Default Bush to legislate his immunity from war crimes

Pres. Bush is trying to sneak through legislation before control of congress is handed to the Democrats that would make him and his staff immune from war crimes. Since the supreme court ruled 'war on terror' detainees are subject to the Geneva Convention: CNN via youtube

I suggest you read the wiki article on gitmo: Guantanamo Bay then decide for yourself...

1. Do you agree with the US supreme court that al-Qaeda and Taliban operatives must be treated within the constraints detailed in the Geneva Convention.

2. If operatives of the US are potentially guilty of war crimes as described by the Geneva Convention, should they be prosecuted?

3. Regardless of your answer to 1 or 2, do you think it's right for Pres. Bush to legislate his own immunity from war crimes (and Rumsfeld and whoever else)?
