In June, the Supreme Court found that Common Article 3 of all for Geneva Conventions, outlining minimum standards for the treatment of detainees, applied to those in US custody. Now the Bush Administration is trying to amend the War Crimes Act, a federal law that makes violations of Common Article 3 a crime in US law, to immunize people from prosecution. Ask your Representative to urge the President not to seek immunity for people who violate the law.
