I know you were joking, but this should be explored.

This is the third go-'round we've had now on the conflict between the official "rules of war" and the way things really worked. We never got to the bottom of it during the Gitmo prisoner of war debate or with Abu Graib. Probably won't this time either. IMO we need some straight talk about what's reasonable and what isn't. I guess no one wants to acknowledge the gap between that and the supposed standards. There are risks in acknowledging the discrepancy but there are also risks of the press operating off one standard and the military and the administration operating off another.
