#1 Dear David:

As I was once told by a very competent lawyer: Half the lawyers in the world are proved wrong each day. That is a pretty pathetic batting average when you compare it against what doctors, engineers and bomb disposal guys need to average every day.

#3 I wish that the Supreme Court would rule that the US must enforce the Geneva Convention as it pertains to illegal combatants: give them a quick hearing to determine their status, then execute them (the illegal combatants). The people at Gitmo are NOT prisoners of war. They are not ordinary criminals. They are illegal combatants. They can be executed.
