The Pentagon and the State Department are going head to head about whether to include an important tenet of the Geneva Convention in the Army Training Manual, which outlines how US soldiers treat prisoners. The White House has moved to omit Article 3 from the manual, which specifically bans the use of "humiliation and degrading treatment," despite strong State Department opposition. White House and military officials say the article does not apply to international terrorists, but critics warn that the omission of such protections opens the US to worldwide disapproval. Larry speaks with guests on both sides of the ongoing debate.
