Should We Withdraw from the Geneva Conventions?

Andrew Sullivan thinks it is something that should be debated.

My own view at this point is that the Congress should debate whether to remain a party to the Geneva Conventions or not. We can withdraw from treaties if we want to. So let's debate it, shall we? And let the Congress decide, as it is constitutionally empowered to do.
We have already gotten rid of Habeas Corpus, why not the Geneva Conventions too. This might just be an issue that will slide by unless it is debated and people actually hear how ridiculous it is that we are discussing if we should torture prisoners or not.
