Revolutionary Moderation

Legal Issues



Donald Rumsfeld has announced that Saddam Hussien will have full POW protections, unless it's discovered that he was actively involved in - er - waging war against the coalition troops.



I can understand the White House's desire to protect the soldiers it sends abroad, but honestly, since 9/11, the Americans have tried to treat attacking their military as terrorism. Guess what - it's not. That's war.



As with so many nebulous questions of law, Talk Left has a great deal on the legal minutiae of this situation as it develops.
