The administration seems most concerned about Common Article 3 of the Conventions that bars "outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment."

Officials are concerned that revelations about U.S. use of leashed dogs lunging at detainees during interrogation, forcing male prisoners to wear feminine underwear, and nakedness might fall into the category of "outrages upon personal dignity" and give rise to prosecution in the aftermath of the scandals at Abu Ghraib prisons.

Let me get this straight. Forcing male prisoners to wear female underwear and stripping them naked might fall in the category of outrages on personal dignity?

MIGHT?? As in, you're not quite sure? :wtf:
