Are Videotaped Beheading Covered By Geneva?

It turns out, the only reason McCain is demanding that prisoners like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed -- mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, the beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl and other atrocities -- be treated like Martha Stewart facing an insider trading charge is this: "It's all about the United States of America and what is going to happen to Americans who are taken prisoner in future wars."

But being nice to enemies is an idea that has never worked, no matter how many times liberals make us do it. It didn't work with the Soviet Union, Imperial Japan, Hitler or the North Vietnamese -- enemies notable for being more civilized than the Islamic savages we are at war with today.

John McCain does not care about the Constitution. Claiming that turning over control of whether you have the right to participate in the last 90 days of a campaign to a pack of liberal democrat bureacrats (who have never shown much lack of bias against those they consider political enemies) was OKAY with John. Now McCain has decided that people who are currently beheading those they disagree with are doing this in response to supposed outrage that we are giving people who have violated all the rules of war three square meals a day down at Guantanamo.

Even worse, John thinks that if we give them the "rights" liberal judges have granted to criminals, they will stop torturing our soldiers. John, the last two they captured were tortured and butchered because these people are savages, not because of anything we did at Guantanamo.

It is articles like this that cause many on the right to see Ann Coulter as a hero. She has accurately ridiculed what should be ridiculed. This whole idea of letting the incompetent buffoons who have destroyed so many lives here in America by turning our criminal justice system into a revolving door joke have any say in waging war is wrong. Judges must not be allowed to take over and provide rights to enemies of our nation. Terrorists captured by our soldiers while fighting them in enemy countries don't have Constitutional rights. The courts, especially our courts, are not competent to wage and win a war.

Anyone who says they do is an enemy of our nation too.
