The head of the US Central Command, General David Petraeus, said Friday that the US had violated the Geneva Conventions in a stunning admission from President Bush’s onetime top general in Iraq that the US may have violated international law.

Right. Gitmo is used by our enemies. That's why 9/11 happened, right? Because cave-nazis were angry about Gitmo?

He's going to be "getting ready" to close Gitmo until he's out of the presidency and hands it off.

Are you really that ignorant, or does it just hurt too much to accept the truth?

As the General says, We must live our values.

too little too late. moving past egregious violations invalidates rule of law.

No no. I got it. 9/11 happened because terrorists from the future were offended by Gitmo, so they got in their time machines and traveled back in time to attack NYC. It's smart.
Same with the thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of terrorist attacks that happen all the time. Because of Gitmo.

This is such a stupid argument. We just need to blow them all away and forget intell. I just don't get it, we did not and I know they did not ratify the Geneva conventions with us.

Everyone have violated that convention, some plenty of times. Nobody cares about it because nothing is ever done when someone breaks it. It's just there to give gullible naive people the notion that there are referees tending the games.

damn lefty!

You people are forgetting that the Geneva convention is what "Civilized" Countries use. That's what seperates us from the "Uncivilized". By you saying that we should not use the guidelines set forth, is saying that we should become "Uncivilzed" Shame on you all.

One of the few true heroes of the Iraq war, at least among the commanders.
