The Geneva conventions don't protect us from terrorists. All terror actions are violations of the conventions so how does according Geneva treatment to terrorists benefit us? It doesn't. The Geneva conventions are only meaningful and should only be binding when BOTH sides to a conflict agree to abide by them. The other side does not. "but the ruling won't stand." And you base this conclusion on? Her ruling was well supported in case law and the Constitution. No, it was a leftwing diatribe. Wait and see if it is upheld. I suppose you can argue that in a post 9/11 world, the Constitution is quaint and out-moded, but... The view of the constitution as a suicide pact is wrong. It's never kept us from doing what is necessary to fight our enemies.
