Isn't it ironic?
For nearly three years, now, Bush has worked day and night to ensure that Americans drew no distinctions, whatsoever, between Iraqis and members of al Qaeda. But now he wants us to buy into waiving Geneva rules at Guantanamo because terrorists don't have countries but not waiving them at Abu Ghraib--where, as we all know, a handful of rogue soldiers acted on their own in torturing prisoners.

1. Good point!
Bush and his cronies could never, of course, have thought out this out as skilfully as you have. But then, to them I suspect that irony is an element, right? One of six or so, right??

Geez...their stupidity knows no bounds!

2. Hi, classof56.
Glad you're here at DU. And how cool to see the star by your name--unusual for a newbie.

3. And thank you!
I have a thing about putting my money where my mouth is. Let's just hope * doesn't decimate the social security fund, or my mouth may find itself homeless! Glad to be a part of DU.
