Idea to make JFK put his chips on the table (VANITY)
Self | Self

I am so sick of the constant media bombardment on the POW issues. I think we need to push our senators to introduce a resolution in the Senate that states: "Terrorists are not POWs and the terrorists captured in Afganistan are not subject to the Geneva convention - only to US law" or even better pass a bill that contains similar language. Then we can see where John Kerry stands on the issue ....

Kerry will be too busy on the campaign trail to vote.

Terrorists are not signatories to the Geneva Conventions, they aren't protected by them as a matter of law.

Not "US Law", as that would give them too many rights. You mean "US Military Law".

Exactly US Military law ... I know they are not signatories of the convention, but the Democrats seem to want them to be signatories of the convention ... I think the Republicans in the Senate need to show the American people where the Democrats truly stand

Well, there's our problem.
The few true Republicans in the Senate don't want the NY Times
to be mean to them, so they go along to get along.
(I exclude The Honorable Senator James Inhofe from the above comments),
He's the only (R) in the Senate with any stones.

Actually, we WANT them to be covered by the Geneva Convention.

Under the Geneva Convention, combatants that do not wear the uniform of a military and carry official ID's from the same can be sumarily executed as spies.

There are plans to reduce the inmate population at the "GrabanArab" prison. This is my preferred method.
