Sell Out

Looks like John McCain's desire for the presidency trumps his desire to make sure what happened to him doesn't happen to any other American soldier. I suppose we're supposed to take comfort in this passage, from the "compromise bill" that Saint McCain fought so hard for:

(3)INTERPRETATION BY THE PRESIDENT. (A) As provided by the
Constitution and by this section, the President has the authority for the
United States to interpret the meaning and application of the Geneva
Conventions and to promulgatehigher standards and administrative
regulations for violations of treaty obligations which are not grave
breaches of the Geneva Conventions.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that means anything goes. How's that for straight talk?
