The discovery of the concentration camps caused American soldiers to begin to hate the Germans, to regard them all as beasts, and sometimes to take no prisoners but instead to kill the Germans without quarter and without mercy. The camps were, he says, the reason the Americans began to feel they were on a crusade.

To wit, Bush wants no retroactive liability for torture -- a felony -- because he is guilty of this crime. Herbert also recognized that the reason Bush wants military tribunals to try detainees is that civilian courts won't allow evidence to be introduced if it was obtained by torture or is the "fruit" of evidence obtained by torture.

Re: Courts Should Insist That The Political Branches Do Their Jobs The judiciary should adopt a doctrine requiring the political branches to amass and consider information, facts, history, anecdotes and statistics, instead of allowing those branches to act in ignorance and without basis.
