Does the Geneva Convention Even Exist Any More?
I think it may just be gone now.

In this New War anything goes. This is going to be War At Its Best. Torture, rape, pillage, kill at random.

Great, isn't it? Makes great nitely viewing.

Welcome to our world.

3. Is it in a museum someplace? Can we go see it in a case.
It is an important part of our history as a civilized nation. We were civilized once, I think. Hard to remember.

8. torn into little pieces and flushed?
Cheney and Rumsfeld having a little party by themselves? Flushing it and doing a little dance around the toilet?

Cute guys aren't they? People we want as role models for our children - see the wonderful sociopath. Watch and immulate?

Great stuff.

11. Wonder if the stool backed up?
Not that it would make any difference. The already are sewer dwellers of the first order. Probably wouldn't even notice the stench they are so used to living in it.

2. It still exists, but it's "quaint."
As with nearly every international agreement in the eyes of this administration, the rules still apply to everyone but us.

5. Apparently not.
The lack of basic humanity, decency, and reverence for life is mind numbingly abhorent.

6. No, not after nine eleven.
In actual fact it does not exist any more, if America ignores it, so can anyone.

I think we should admit it's a useless document to the neocons, and we ought to get all the nations together and come up with a new agreement TO NOT TORTURE ANY P.O.W.'s.

9. Well. That idea isn't going to be very popular.
Torture is just so "in" this year.
