2. It's the " Military Commissions Act of 2006 (Enrolled as Agreed to..)"
Here is a Thomas link. If the link expires, go to the Thomas main page and search with "Military Commissions"

4. Here is an important section.
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/F?c109:3:./temp/~c109wE4Eqf:e101251:

"SEC. 5. TREATY OBLIGATIONS NOT ESTABLISHING GROUNDS FOR CERTAIN CLAIMS.

(a) In General- No person may invoke the Geneva Conventions or any protocols thereto in any habeas corpus or other civil action or proceeding to which the United States, or a current or former officer, employee, member of the Armed Forces, or other agent of the United States is a party as a source of rights in any court of the United States or its States or territories."

5. It's H.R. 6166
You can search by bill number on thomas.gov.

It's so dumb that the links to the bill are temporary.
