<Some in the world damn the US because we have tried to treat people fairly, even POW's.

POW's who are from other countries, and imprisoned in America, have faired VERY well compared to our Military POW's who were imprisoned in various places in the world. Even military detainees' who don't wear a uniform of a country are treated better than any country that follows the Geneva Conventions....>

Oh please stop -- that was true up until the current administration decided that the Geneva Conventions did not apply to us and that secret prisons and torture were a better idea after all. The Bush Administration has done more to harm our reputation of for human rights than anuyone could have imagined only a few short years ago.
