My Jaw Dropped

The White House issued a memo that "instructs recipients to ensure that all Defense Department policies, practices and directives comply with Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions governing the humane treatment of prisoners."

It has been clearly stated that this is not a "reversal of policy." That would mean they made a mistake and are correcting it. Can't have that. No, they just want to, "get it right" and the situation is, "complex."

I am more confused than ever and my jaw is now firmly back in place.
