pay up bubba, the geneva convention agrees with me.
As I mentioned earlier, the Geneva Convention has nothing to do with the topic at hand, one way or another. You apparently hope that screaming "GENEVA CONVENTION!! GENEVA CONVENTION!! GENEVA CONVENTION!!" at the top of your lungs will drown out everything else.
The majority of the posters here have no clue as to what war is.
I don't know who you are talking about, exactly, but those of us who do understand what war is, also understand that men who start wars without an overwhelmingly good reason--like George W. Bush--are the most loathsome beings on the planet. Precisely because we know what it is.
People who grew up on too many Chuck Norris and Sylvester Stallone movies have a not-too-accurate view of what war is.
well, everyone is spouting off that it is illegal in other countries, and guess what, it would have to violate the geneva convention for it to be legal to prosecute americans under that convention.
Nobody has mentioned prosecuting Americans under "that convention" except you. They could be prosecuted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 5, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Article 7, and the UN Convention Against Torture Articles 2, 4, 5 etc.
Just because you've never heard of any treaties except the Geneva Convention doesn't mean none of us has.

What's true here is when the NeoConfused have nothing factual to say that defends their position they resort to inane, untrue, cheesey accusations of" Liberals hate America! "

What makes some of these cases more difficult is that some have US citizenship. That and the fact that the left used POWs for years in an almost treasonous battering ram to attack the previous admin. Funny how Obama, for the most part, is following the rules of his predecessor . . . . and can’t avoid getting flak from the one or two leftists who aren't hypocrites.
What's funny is how Cheney & company change their description of the enemy to suit their own sound bites, sometimes they're combatants, sometimes they're terrorists, and sometimes they're criminals.
