I seem to recall something different from the dissents. And one of the points that you raised a moment ago was on "standards of evidence" where that evidence needs to be collected in a war zone by our combat troops, doesn't it?
Noting that I'm going to end up voting for McCain, I'll just say this -- let me know when the terrorists in Iraq stop subjecting our people to it, would you? This is not meant to say that I believe that "anything goes", but that I do believe that it is inappropriate to give people who are violating an agreement all of the protections that they would receive if they were complying with the agreement.
Otherwise, what's the incentive for complying with it in the first place?
