I think Powell might be making a stretch to classify terrorists as unlawful combatants under the Geneva Convention. combatant : one that is engaged in or ready to engage in combat combat : a fight or contest between individuals or groups Terrorist victims are rarely fighting....... * * *

COLIN POWELL, LOYAL BUSHIE: This is a line I’ve been pushing for some time. The secretary of state, far from being some lone liberal dissenter, is a full administration participant in the war on terrorism. Michael Ledeen, who knows his Machiavelli, gets this exactly right in National Review Online. nationalreview.com Eventually, the administration’s critics, instead of producing tortured interpretations of bad polls, will actually realize that this president is far sharper than most people think and begin to mount a credible opposition. Until then, Colin Powell will keep playing the part, absorbing criticism, deflecting animosity, and – oh so subtly – winning the game. andrewsullivan.com
