The following was in an AP article in The Norman Transcript which I had to type in as they didn't have it on line. Below the comments are the link to Sen Inhofe's comments and interview on our local TV as well as The Oklahoman editorial which is fantastic -- they agree with Sen Inhofe!

Inhofe was later tacitly rebuked by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who was held as a prisoner of war for 5 1/2 years in Vietnam. McCain asked three Army officials whether the Geneva Conventions, which dictate the terms for humane treatment of prisoners, were a burden on U.S. military activities. All three said the conventions were needed to protect U.S. soldiers in conflicts and to demonstrate the United States' moral integrity.


McCain said "if somehow we convey the impression that we've got to do whatever is necessary and humanitarian do-gooders have no place in this arena - which I believe the International Red Cross has an important role to play - then I think we're setting ourselves up for some very serious consequences for American fighting men and women in conflicts in the future."
