But Rumsfeld's quick willingness to invoke international law and the Geneva Convention has been branded as hypocrisy, particularly in Europe.

"I have talked to a number of members of the foreign press, and they all begin asking how can Rumsfeld scream about adherence to the Geneva Convention when he was willing to ignore it last year," said Goldman, the American University professor.

"The (Bush) administration made a mistake in denying POW treatment to the Taliban combatants (in Afghanistan). But I also believe in the power of redemption. We need to apply the (Geneva) Convention fairly, and we will save ourselves from a lot of trouble."
