Democrats five points on Geneva Convention

[Monkeyman]

"The Geneva Convention... is just not some concept; it has saved lives.. we cannot and must not and need not change the Geneva Convention in a way that would be perceived as backing out of it."

Sens. Warner,McCain,Graham,and Levin have proposed a tough,effective bill on military tribunals for detainees which meets the standard set bt the U.S. Supreme Court and keeps our troops safe.

General Colin Powell,President Bush's own Secretary of State and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warns the Bush version "would put our own troops art risk."

President Bush and Republicans continue to justify the invasion of Iraq by drawing non-existent links to the 9/11 attacks. The Bush PR campaign around the solemn anniversary of 9/11 didn't work. The American people understand the war in Iraq and the war against terrorism are sistinct.

The President's Iraq policy has made un less safe and must be changed. The war in Iraq has made our efforts to defeat terrorism more difficult. Republican-controlled Senate Intelligence Committee report found there were no ties between Iraq and al Qaeda.


Its time for a New Direction against terrorism,not just Republican's half-truths and scare tactics. Democrats want aggressive prosecution of suspected terrorist and judicail procedures that won't be overturned by the Supreme Court.
