Edited on Fri Sep-29-06 03:26 PM by ryanus

"(a) IN GENERAL.—No person may invoke the Geneva
Conventions or any protocols thereto in any habeas corpus
or other civil action or proceeding to which the United
States, or a current or former officer, employee, member
of the Armed Forces, or other agent of the United States
is a party as a source of rights in any court of the United
States or its States or territories."

No other source of rights besides this act. Bummer.
