Guantanamo, Iraq, water boarding, "enhanced interrogations"...
The actions of the Bush Administration (please note the name there) were in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions. A treaty that we not only signed AND ratified (which makes it as binding as the Constitution BTW) but AUTHORED after the Second World War.
Alberto Gonzales may have thought the Geneva Conventions were "quaint", but they were binding. That's why Donald Rumsfeld had to be hustled out of his hotel room in Germany to avoid being hauled in front of the judges at the Hague for war crimes. That's what Bush and Cheney, et al, have to look forward to for the rest of their lives if we do not have the trials here first.
Case? The only case you might have is a case of beer.
