You wrote:<font color=blue>"We in America like to believe that we treat prisoners humanely unlike the people you hate."<font color=black> Those prisoners live much better than they would if they were free. Who do I hate? For instance, you are a pain in the arse because you don't know much, you are naive and you are misguided, but I don't hate you. You wrote:<font color=blue>"The argument against the treatment at Guantanamo is that we are not following the Geneva convention as we are obliged to do."<font color=black> What parts of the Geneva convention do you want to see implemented for those brutal, murderous thugs at Guantanamo? Does the Geneva convention legally apply to our vicious, dangerous enemies at Guantanamo? If not, we should not apply it. Is it in our country's best interests to apply the Geneva convention to those at Guantanamo? Once in a while our country should look after our interests and not the interests of those who would destroy us.
