#1 I tired of these jackass's like GENERAL-ly wrong) Wesley Clark, stating that
-we must stick to the Geneva Convention.
-we must fall under the U.N. mandate
-we must pick roses for the terrorists
-we must hand out chocolate to the terrorists
-we must not hurt their Moronaic Koranic soft and supple feeeeelings.

The Geneva Convention is for an uniformed enemy, not terrorists. The Geneva Convention is NOT for terrorists that dump their AK's and RPG's in the trash can when the Marine's show up, so they can kill a GI another day. The argument is that we, the target, must not stooooop to a lower level than the terrorists. Well, I'd rather stooooop to a lower level than be lowered into a 6ft hole. All these people who think we can win the terrorists hearts and minds, needs to have their hearts and minds checked by a psychiatrist.

#2 How can there even be questioning from the left on this issue. It is no strange coinkidink that there have been no major terrorist attacks on US targets since 9/11 and that many of the Al Qaeda players have been arrested or whacked. To afford AQ thugs the Geneva Convention while they are free to behead their "detainees" is horse $%#@! If we are not allowed to interogate overtly, then we should drop these scumbags off in Colombia, Jordan or Israel. Free tooth drilling from Dr. Cavity.

#3 I agree with whoever said this is a win for the GOP and a loss for the donks. Donks preach to the choir as their congregation, not wanting their children to die in another terrorist attack, heads for the door.

#4 Amen 2b! I forget who took the poll when the Abu Grahib thing broke but most of Americans approved of the âtortureâ techniques used by the CIA/Military. If playing some Molly Hatchet gets Abu Jihadi to give up some names, places, etc. I say go for it. Also if we have a big fish and he lacks communications skill, I quote a politician by saying: âRed is positive and Black is negative.â

#8 By all means lets discuss the issue.
Let me start with an axiom: all morality derives from reciprocity.

#9 Since the Geneva Conventions are only binding between signatories, when did Al Queda sign? I missed the photo op of Powell and OBL with the pen.
