Anyone arguing that terrorists (i.e., non-uniformed personnel not fighting on behalf of a recognized army) rate any protections under the Geneva Convention is a jihadist sympathizer.

Where will that leave our Black Ops boys and the squads the Executive Branch is now empowered to assign for assassination duty? You think they're going to be stepping out fully uniformed so that we can play by the letter of the law of Geneva?
Are the alumnae of Iran-Contra, for example, or the assassins now a part of our arsenal for the War on Terror somehow barred from any of the basic protections against torture, humiliation or imprisonment without just cause?
I don't understand.
If you want to make torture for certain classes okay, do so. We're equal to doing that where our own unborn we dismember or scald to death by the millions are concerned.
But don't recasting the basic human rights on which Geneva is based as conditional at best.
That's like saying the "inalienable" rights enumerated in our Declaration only apply to those humans who fit the precise definitions of Constitutional personhood as interpreted by our courts, congressional committees and "pro-life" presidents.

He has drawn the concentrated fire of leftist anacephalics in the last 48 hours for "creating the climate which allowed the torture at the infamous Abu Ghraib prison."
The leftist propaganda industry finds no fault either with abortion or the 300,000 victims in Hussein's mass graves, but demands Gonazales' ouster for panties on prisoners' heads.
Arguments to facts not in evidence are not probative of Gonzales' abortion opinions.
His selection to continue the outstanding service of John Ashcroft in preventing domestic terrorism indicates the highest confidence of the man we re-elected.
