The document speaks for itself. Here is a quote (emphasis mine):

a. I accept the legal conclusion of the Department of Justice and determine that none of the provisions of Geneva apply to our conflict with al-Qaida in Afghanistan or elsewhere throughout the world because, among other reasons, al-Qaida is not a High Contracting Party to Geneva.

b. I accept the legal conclusion of the attorney general and the Department of Justice that I have the authority under the Constitution to suspend Geneva as between the United States and Afghanistan, but I decline to exercise that authority at this time. Accordingly, I determine that the provisions of Geneva will apply to our present conflict with the Taliban. I reserve the right to exercise the authority in this or future conflicts.

  1. Wow. That is one incriminating document, although I do not think that anything will happen out of it. I am sure that no one will be held accountable. It will just be swept under the rug I imagine.

  1. Hate to say it but nothing the govenerment does is surprising. There is lots of really horrible things I am sure are kept under wraps from us all the time that is done which are barbaric and sickening to the stomach.
