ET, that is a very good point US Isolationism and being above International Law. One thing that bothers very much about the current Administration is that is has decided to unilaterally do what it sees as best ignoring the world community and the constitution in most matters. I think that the civilized world has taken the view to wait this thing out and let America come to its senses and elect officials who want to participate in a global world. Until then we will have to live with as another poster stated an Administration that "makes up the rules as we go along", unfortunately so far these actions are propelling the world backward quickly.

My understanding is that the United States claims that the people you are talking about are BEING treated humanely, and in full accordance with international conventions. The United States is playing by the rules...BTW, to give you a point of reference - attacking the World Trade Center with civilian airliners is generally considered NOT playing by the rules.

dear e.t. America the land of the free is international law. All the whiners of the world and democrats are the criminals. America is the only country with the will and the power to do the right thing. Envious sniveling retards will disparage what America does no matter what. There is a time to try and get along and time to look at another while doing what is common sense. The look you give is Fool a retard and stupid you are a total retard and I don't care about all your foolish whining and sniveling. You say nothing and do what is right. Once again America is international law. tom watson tosiwmee

We ratified but did not sign the Geneva convention but that has nothing to do with this situation. These are not uniformed soldiers of a legitimate government. They are terrorists and shouldn't be afforded rights under the GC. That's not to say they should be treated inhumanely but they should be questioned and detained until such a time as they won't be able to commit add'tnl acts of mass murder. Having said all that, it just kills me the amount of concern the American lilly limp liberals and the fuc*ing french have for these murderers. They have a white guilt complex real bad. You guys go ahead and feel guilty for all the wrong your ancestors did, I'm just gonna have fun. DOC
