The Geneva Convention does NOT apply to these terrorists!!
When did it become SCOTUS' job to interpret the Geneva Convention??????????? And the UCMJ?????
And the determination that the conventions do not apply to them is a process that is covered by the conventions. And today we got a ruling saying the process we followed didn't conform to the conventions' requirements.
That doesn't mean the terrorists are suddenly covered by Geneva (at least I haven't seen that they ruled that), but that the determination of whether they are covered or not was done improperly.
Is that clearer?
