Bush, purporting to define torture and allowable interrogation methods, appeared to violate Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions and thus expose the President and other persons to potential liability for war crimes. On Nov. 9, 2010, he was named an honorable Reagan Fellow from Eureka college.
