Of course, if captured, the idea that we should refrain from interrogating Osama bin Ladin and be ready to release him when "hostilities cease" is ridiculous It's your idea, not mine, so I don't know why I should be asked to defend it. Whoa, it is your idea! In previous posts you did say members of terror groups captured on a battlefield HAD to be given POW status. You also confirmed POW status would limit our ability to interrogate captured terrorists. In fact, you just expressed your unhappiness that we are still interrogating the Guantanamo detainees - because we should never have done it in the first place: I hate to tell you this but the Geneva Convention is meant to be applied at once, not years later, when the interrogators have had their fun with prisoners to their heart's content. All I've done is point out that your ideas would apply to Osama bin Ladin himself if he'd been captured at Tora Bora.
