If you do not enter into a contract with someone then neither you or they are bound by that contract. If someone violates a contract then it allows you out of that contract. Since Congress has the power to declare war they also have the power to get out of a treaty any time they want. We the people have the duty to hold them accountable. That is why the United States is supposed to be a Republic and not an Oligarchy ruled by a council of nine non-elected despots. . Treaties are contracts.

We're not obeying the Geneva Convention rules established... so are you suggesting that this means that our enemy is justified in torturing our soliders?
