Sorry, when they, and those associated with them start slitting our fellow citizens throats on TV, the geneva convention takes a public back seat, with overwelming support.
Wait a minute! Nobody at Guantanimo has ever been convicted of anything, and several hundred have been released. And if we caught the guys that did that, we'd still give them a fair trial. The Constitution is not imited to to our citizens or to our borders. A reasonable argument could be made that it applies wherever we're in control. What do we stand for? If we're like the terrorists, they've beaten us.

Kindness on our part is not leveling an entire country as retrobution for the acts of a few
So I guess you would just nuke them?

The geneva convention and the wartime acts are a nice idea, but lets face it, they only work to a point, and if you think any government that wants information stops all of their interrogations because the wartime acts...you would be mistaken. Again, we only know what we hear, and although we think we hear a lot, we really dont. We have a lot of men at ft. Brag with a lot of job security and its not because they were trained to play nice JSOC has the most support within the military and justice departments in a long time...dont let the small public outcry fool you.
The Geneva Convention is there to protect our soldiers when they're prisoners. By our example, that will nver happen again. We prosecuted Japanese soldiers as war criminals for waterboarding. Last week Cheney was joking about it. If we're going to maintain any kind of credibility, we shouldn't be doing that, not to mention that it is a human rights violation.

I heard a few days ago that they were going to try Rumsfeld in Germany for war crimes. Is that what we're about now?

We'll eventually solve Iraq and terrorism, but what will have happened to us and our standards? Shouldn't we be better than some barbarian terrorists?
