I view the Geneva convention like I view most gun laws. Criminals
don't care whats illegal so they the laws don't affect them. It's those
who abide by the laws that are affected.
Same way with the Geneva Convention. None of our advesaries have ever
followed it. Certainly not Iraq in 91 or more recently ( though you rarely
ever here about this). So once again it is only the U.S. and a few of our
allies who care enough about it to follow it or enforce it if it isn't.

With this groups propensity for off-topic rantings (yes, I'm
guilty too), how come I've seen no comments about the memos
surfacing that say the president can authorize torture?

My feeling is that we're in danger of becoming what we're
fighting.

Note that our military, in general, is opposed to this because
the Geneva convention and other treaties provide protection for
our troops as well.
