They even want to give POW's the same rights as citizens.

They wouldn't have started jumping up and down about it if we hadn't
detained so darned many of them without due process for years now.

Claiming that the Geneva Convention doesn't apply to them based on
their not being "uniformed soldiers of a recognized government" is
also rather despicable, IMO, in that even if the letter of the
convention doesn't mesh with the current circumstances, certainly the
original intent does. Even McCain agrees that the Geneva Convention
should apply, although I realize that, yeah, he is a bit of a RINO and
thus not someone you fully support... yet I suspect you'll still be
voting for the man in November. :-)

It's certainly ridiculous to expect combat troops in the heat of battle to
collect evidence (and be available for court testimony) to support their
capture and detention of unlawful enemy combatants caught outside of the
US.

these people have NO idea of what they blindly advocate.
