So, where in Iraq would the prisoners have been absolutely safe?

Pardon me if this is a bit obvious, but a known POW camp being attacked is also a violation of the Geneva Convention--for the attackers.

Like attacking hospital facilities, civilians, and pretty much everything else that has been SOP for the terrorists and guerillas.

There hasn't been a single goddam war America has been involved in in the past fifty years where our enemies have come within a parsec of paying attention to the Geneva Conventions. Not one.

I take it that you think we should have exported them to Jordan or something then?

    - Define "win" in realistic terms. I thought it meant finding WMD. - Bowser - 8/5/2004 5:56:49 AM

        If Bush had found 5,000 nuclear missiles, our action of preemptively invading a nation on the basis of imminent threat would have been true. - Mary Anne - 8/5/2004 12:45:09 PM
        
        Okay, it would have been true. Then what? - Tom Brosz - 8/5/2004 4:20:10 PM

        BTW, calling them "human shields" is just plain asinine. - Tom Brosz - 8/5/2004 11:14:37 PM
