Crazyhorse,

We are going to simply have to agree to disagree. You seem like a smart person. I also want to state that I detest many of Bush's policies. However, it appears that your hatred of Bush has colored your analysis and perception of historical events, trends, etc. In particular, I think your understanding of international law, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Geneva Conventions, etc. is very one-sided and not entirely accurate. I am no legal scholar, but when I went to law school I took a class from the former assistant general counsel for the State Department (i.e., the #2 lawyer for the State Department), a guy who helped draft the UN Charter and represented the U.S. government in negotiating many treaties. We discussed these issues (including Gitmo, trials of enemy combatants) at length. I sympathize with your ultimate positions, but I don't think your analysis is correct. Sorry, I don't mean to sound like a know-it-all jerk.

In any event, cheers.
