What is so hard to grok about ALLhuman beings covered byGenevaConventions?
Edited on Thu Jun-29-06 07:15 PM by UTUSN
A Faux "news correspondent" (female, blonde) is frothing all over O'LOOFAH about the LIBERAL Supremes giving coverage "TO AL QAIDA OF ALL PEOPLE," and O'LOOFAH says the court has "constrained the war on terror and handcuffed the president."

Ever since dunderhead pupppet Alberto GONZALEZ signed the memos written by John YOO and the other ilk in which the Geneva Conventions were interpreted to apply only to UNIFORMED personnel in STANDING ARMIES of NATION STATES, this technicality has ruled. Actually, what is so difficult to understand about the Conventions applying to any and all humans, whether the language needs to be updated or whatever. Humans as combatants regardless of affliation or national status. One person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist.

O'LOOFAH is promo-ing KERRY as up next. The clips show O'LOOFAH browbeating him, as opposed to how he, Independent that he is, smooched on Ahhhnuld and Shrub.

2. You can't torture someone if you don't demonize them first
and remove their human status..... the war on terrah takes no prisoners so to speak.
