I can't say whether I agree or disagree - not because my new nickname is "John Kerry"; but because I'd have to see the actual proposed legal revisions that incorporate "concepts of qualified immunity and exigent circumstances which are based on situational ethics."

That's no different than saying we need: a new weapons system, armored vehicle, fighter-bomber, etc., etc. The devil is always in the details - design and implementation. So, such projects, including proposed legal provisions, are up to the proponents of revision.

Frankly, the present UCMJ and Laws of War don't look bad to me - perhaps some "tweaking" as Tom Hanks might say.
