It appears to me, based on the sponsorship of legislation that would shield the Bush Administration against prosecution of war crimes under the Geneva Convention begin proposed by Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, that the the Bush Administration established policy it knew to be illegal in its treatment of prisoners. Below is an except from today's Washington Post with a link to the entire article, but the entire article may require registration. My guess is the Bush Admin will spend the last two years of its term trying to clean up any incriminating evidence, including Top Secret Documents, so as to leave a sanitized environment for a new incoming Admin for 2008. We may never know the full extent of the threat posed by neo-conservatives against the American Constitution and Bill of Rights, American freedoms, and the American Way of life. ====================================================== That is not the plan, IMHO. Shrub is not running this operation, someone else is calling the shots and he is just the puppet. Regardless of who is "elected" in 2008, the neocon elements will make every effort to prevail and continue on the present course. Their timetable may get adjusted but the objective will remain. I am not condoning this, just giving my opinion. As for the treatment of prisoners, we must remember that members of alQaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, PLO, etc., are NOT acting on behalf of a government that is a signatory to any treaty. I still don't know how these groups get away with what they are doing but they do not deserve any protection or consideration that might be given to a soldier of an established military organization of a sovereign nation. After all, there are rules for these games. What I was wondering is why can't we convince the FBI that these groups are from Montana or Waco and just cream the crap out of them as they have done before.
