Geneva CYA

Read the draft of the bill here. Lovely little addition here, don't you think?

SEC. 7. TREATY OBLIGATIONS NOT ESTABLISHING GROUNDS FOR CERTAIN CLAIMS.

(a) IN GENERAL. No person may invoke the Geneva Conventions or any protocols thereto in any habeas or civil action or proceeding to which the United States, or a current or former officer, employee, member of the Armed Forces, or other agent of the United States, is a party as a source of rights, in any court of the United States or its States or territories.

All the while claiming that this doesn't abrogate responsibilities to the Geneva Convention by the US. This is nothing but CYA for past behavior, and should be villified as such. We're supposed to be the good guys?
