#2 The 'illegal combatants' who hide in the civilian population does not (and should not *ever*) deserve Geneva Convention protections. Otherwise the GC is useless since nobody has any incentive to follow it.

We *must* *lose* the War on Terror in order for the Democrats to suceed - and lose big. This is why the hacks such as Muthra, Kerry, Kennedy, the media and the like are allies of the enemy. They want (and need) us to lose. And the more dead american soldiers the better for them. I include certain Republcans in this camp as well.

To them the cost [in mere american lives] is worth it as long as the elite (them) can suceed.

Evidence? Just look at their recent actions - from Kennedy saying we have simply replaced on tyrant with another (us) to Muthra calling out troops home *now* - never mind that it would give the enemy a win (to the donks that is a feature not a bug). To how they are all convicting the soldiers before the investigation is completed. The media refusal to associate Terrorism with Islam.

#3 Personally, I'm all for the MSM establishing new legal procedures [i.e. presumed guilty, must prove innocents, unverifiable evidence, hearsay, and opinion]. It will be the legal framework when their time is in the docket arrives, like for treason during time of war.

#4 Doesn't apply to the elite - just ask Patches (Pat Kennedy).

#5 To the best of my reccolection, under the UCMJ you ARE presumed guilty until proven innocent.

#6 "There is no innocence, only degrees of guilt."
This sums up the LLL mindset perfectly.
