If you equate the United States treatment of terrorists with Iran, then you are not worth talking to.

As for facts, what is this mistreatment at Guantanimo you speak of? too much food?

what provisions of the Geneva convention have the US not abided by? You do realize that until the Supreme Court (wrongly) decided Hamden the conventional wisdom was that the Geneva convention did not apply to terrorists.

Fucking hell...

from http://hrw.org/backgrounder/usa/pow-bck.htm:

"Such statements from the U.S. government suggest that the U.S. government will apply its own standards to the detainees, determine its own standard of protection outside the Geneva system, picking and choosing those provisions of the Geneva Conventions it wishes to apply. The United States is ignoring important and relevant international standards, and is instead determining its own standards to the detainees. This also undermines long-time efforts by the U.S. military to incorporate the Geneva Conventions into the operations of the armed forces through its training programs and institutions."

America has usually held the high moral ground in its conflicts; it is important to remember this in 2007 where our nation is involved in a conflict of IDEALS...
