    A user submitted this link to my site. I figured it warranted being shared with all of you. It's a nice contrast to the Eurocentric "America is so bad" crowd. I found the Geneva Convention particulars pretty informative. I think he presents a very strong argument for not granting those ***holes POW status.


    Sorry about the wrong link :)

    "The suspect liked to eat cat meat while drinking wine with his friends."

    <B>More than 400 Cambodians were left homeless when a roasted cat caught fire, sending flames shooting through a village of wooden shacks, police said Thursday.</B>

    Absolutely. The Geneva Convention needs to be expanded to cover cats and other animal life!

    From the Article:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Another officer relays something we'll hear repeated often: that because of international political pressure, the prisoners are getting coddled. The latest report has Army guards directing detainees on which way to pray to Mecca. "They're actually going to paint arrows on the floors of the cells so they'll know to face north," he says. "You mean east," I say. "North, east, whatever," he replies, "I'm Lutheran--I don't know where the hell it is."


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    From Cuba, the correct direction to Mecca is Northeast I believe so the soldier is right in the end. I could be mistaken.
