As you liberals like to say: "it's not quite so black and white". The

That's a canard, a bull**** issue.


No, it's *the* issue. It wouldn't allow for liberal bitching and whining
however, so I can understand your comment.

Well, then perhaps we should get it right. "Illegal combatants" are not
covered under the Third Geneva Convention, but they are covered by the
Fourth Geneva Convention. They are afforded rights, just not the same
rights afforded "legal combatants".
