Before punks like Dick Cheney and George W. Bush made torture an Amerikan Thing; Americans in combat used the John Wayne Factor. Since WW2 Americans have honored the Geneva Convention. If a soldier broke the rules regarding the Geneva Convention , he signed off on it and took individual responsibility for his actions: that is the John Wayne Factor. Dick Cheney and George W. Bush are just Amerikan war criminals and they need to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity and the American constitution.
