The Geneva Convention says the Red Cross will decide what is torture. The Red Cross says the US committed torture.

The Red Cross says treatment of detainees "constituted torture."

"The Geneva Conventions, to which the United States is a signatory, establishes how it shall be determined whether 'torture' has been committed," Olbermann observed. "The ultimate deciding body, as agreed to by our country, is -- the Red Cross."

"The debate is over," Olbermann concluded. "Let the Bush war crime prosecutions begin."
