The next attempt to discredit Bush

This will be based on a memo written by White House Counsel Al Gonzales regarding the Geneva Convention strictures. Gonzales wrote the memo just after the 9-11-01 attacks and said "this new paradigm renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions" according to this report. The hullabaloo will be pure rubbish: the Geneva Convention on interrogating prisoners of war does not apply to al-Qaeda and does not even apply to most of the Abu Ghraib prisoners because they are not prisoners of war. Instead, the al-Qaedans fighting for the Taliban and the riffraff fighting for al-Sadr in Iraq are illegal combatants under the laws of war and can be summarily executed.
