Does the person even *know* what the Geneva conventions are and how they protect us? Go ahead, try it. Unless you're talking to a veteran or a similarly informed person, you will get a blank stare. So you explain it. You explain and you explain and you explain (trying not to refer to other concepts that your subject is probably not familiar with either), and they will look at you and say something like, "well, if it will help prevent a terrorist attack/save thousands of lives/catch a terrorist, I'm for it." This is what passes for logic.
If it's not spoonfed to them on the goddamn teevee, then they don't know and don't want to know. Might as well go pound sand.
