Bush: Gitmo Prisoners Protected by Geneva Conventions Thursday, June 09, 2005 By Sharon Kehnemui Liss WASHINGTON — Linking the military prison in Guantanamo Bay (search) to the gulags in the former Soviet Union (search) is "absurd," especially when the United States is taking special care to protect the civil liberties of prisoners, President Bush said Wednesday. "This is absurd to equate Gitmo, or Guantanamo, with the Soviet gulags. It's just not even close," Bush told FOX News' Neil Cavuto in an exclusive interview. "Prisoners are being treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention (search)," the president said, adding that the prisoners are stateless fighters who are not explicitly governed by the conventions. "We treat the prisoners in accordance with international standards, and that's what the American people expect." Watch FOX News Channel for Neil Cavuto's interview with President Bush at 4 p.m. EDT.
