The book, “The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals,” by Jane Mayer suggests a secret International Red Cross document “warned that the abuse constituted war crimes, placing the highest officials in the U.S. government in jeopardy of being prosecuted.”
Though many people may feel the Bush administration is guilty of war crimes in Iraq and in the larger war on terror, there can't be much doubt that even should charges be brought the US will refuse to recognize them and claim immunity for it's officials and senior military staff.
It most certainly would never allow charges to be brought against a sitting President.
No one would even bother trying, it would simply result in any international court trying to hear the case being dismantled.
