Another link regarding Bush wanting to change the international rules of interregation adopted by all civilized nations. If he doesn't get his way he pouts and stomps his feet and raises his voice.....maybe he should have been told more as he was growing up (I mean aging not maturing).

Link: Bush is Blackmailing the National Security of Every American | BuzzFlash.
The President of the United States is holding the security of every American as a hostage in a game of chicken. For more years than we can remember, the Geneva Convention has guided the conduct of civilized nations in matters of war. America has abided by the treaty without dissent or difficulty. In fact, we prided ourselves on implementing the standards spelled out by the Geneva Convention for the treatment of prisoners of war. But Bush is now saying, that suddenly for him, the Geneva Conventions do not provide "clarity." This, of course, is the Rovia/Luntz use of framing to make a betrayal of the American people by the Bush Administration look like a reasonable act. The Geneva Conventions have provided uncontested "clarity" through multiple Republican and Democratic administrations, but all of a sudden they have become "vague" to Bush, even though not a word in them has been change.
