US Running out of War Crimes to Commit; Stoops to Denying Red Cross Access

BBC NEWS | Americas | US blocks ICRC access to suspects:

The US has admitted for the first time that it has not given the Red Cross access to all detainees in its custody.

The state department's top legal adviser, John Bellinger, made the admission but gave no details about where such prisoners were held.

Correspondents say the revelation is likely to increase suspicion that the CIA has been operating secret prisons outside international oversight.

The really tough part I face, these days, is a risk of becoming too desensitized to occasions where the US mistreats more prisoners or commits another War Crime. I need to continue to be outraged, so as to continue to believe that they're generally above such abuses of human rights.

Because they were one of us who were above this kind of stuff when we tried the guys in Nurnberg.
