I think this is a calculated move on Bush’s administration part, in making these well known-to-be-terrorist and masterminds of some of the most horrific bombings, fall under the same genieva convention rulings – he is making it an issue to either deal with these people as a police matter (which will make those who support that look rediculous) or in a military tribunal.

I think this is more to make a case for military tribunals than really allowing these monsters any kind of protections under the geneva conventions.

From The Belmont Club (http://fallbackbelmont.blogspot.com/):

“This should have been done from the first and it should have been done while the ashes of the WTC were still smoldering. Nevertheless better late than never….No politician likes to take responsibility for exposing the public to danger by treating terrorists with kid gloves yet no one likes to admit that the Geneva convention is inadequate for dealing with global terrorist threat. Now the dilemma can no longer be avoided. And since Hamdan decided the question cannot be left to the President alone, it is now before the nation in the shape of a request to Congress…Andrew Sullivan is already unhappy.

” ‘This is the Rove gambit: make this election a choice between legalizing torture or enabling the murderers of 9/11 to escape justice. The timing is deliberate; the exploitation of 9/11 gob-smacking; the cynicism fathomless. There is only one response: call them on it and vote for their opponents in November. And pray that in the meantime, John McCain won’t lose his nerve or his integrity.’

“The cup Sullivan wants to pass away is exactly the cup politicians were happy to see low level operatives to drink from out of sight. But it is inaccurate to call this a ‘choice between legalizing torture or enabling the murderers of 9/11 to escape justice.’ It’s a choice between specifying what kinds of interrogation are allowable under our system of values and letting the murderers of 9/11 escape justice. … Have Geneva and give up a lot of safety; or modify Geneva to some degree and get some, but not complete safety. No more punts.”

The liberals can only froth at the mouth more. And they look crazier everyday. Liberalism is a mental diseases is what I’ve been saying. They can only go forward with more and more accusations not based on facts but their own “feelings”. Is that a way to debate?
