Doug,

If you think the Geneva Convention is a wonderful thing, I don't
understand why you would want to weaken it by implying there's no
advantage to
signing it. Al-Qaida and the talliban do not play by the rules of the
Geneva convention.
The geneva convention that covers the rights of prisoners had it's
standards set by civilized people.

The true test of a civilization is not how it treats good and decent
people, but how it treats those who do evil.

Our laws and constitution are designed not for majority rule, but
rather to protect the minority from the majority.
