... We are obeying
international law.

No, we are not. The Bush Administration thinks 'interntional law' is for
pussies.



...The relatively few held at Gitmo are not POWs.

Of course not.

International law says we can shoot them.

No, it does not.

Since you're not Dave, insisting that any & all evidence against your
statements is contrived & falsified leftist propaganda, I will humor you
and provide a few links. Since you *still* believe all that malarkey
about how the brave & noble Ho Chi Minh liberated Viet Nam and was
acclaimed by popular support, I doubt it will do any good.

And that's not even the tip of the iceberg.

Why is President Bush insistent on Congress not restricting his "right"
to torture prisoners? Why are they denying that they knew these foreign
gov'ts practiced torture ("I mean, really... nobody told us!")?

The whole thing stinks.
