#1 "Secretary John Reid suggested Wednesday night, international law, including the Geneva Conventions that set the laws of war, should be strengthened and expanded, not abandoned."

Tell us John, if the terrorists do not follow any rules now, how will puttering about in the verbiage change anything? Other than tying our hands with new and different knots?

This is simply blind, ultra-dense, non-thought. Wanking for PC.

#2 Well, "strengthened and expanded" could involve spelling out what happens when an enemy purposely ignores the conventions. I would assume that they would be strengthened in the name of our cause, not theirs.

Of course, the changes must be negotiated amongst sane and rational countries... NATO + Japan + Australia + whoever... I guess there isn't much chance of that, though.
