War prisoners or not, we signed the Geniva convtion. We should either honor than, or withdraw if we're going to do stuff like that.
How exactly did Clinton, or any other American official, cause two planes to fly into the WTC?
Jecek, two wrongs don't make a right. We should be better than this.

I fail to see how stripping down some prisoners naked violates the geneva convention.I do not agree with that kind of treatment, but we really don't even know the context of the supposed "abuse".Prisoners get strip searched in every prison of the world, hows that abuse? How do we know thats not what these pictures of? Degrading yes, "abuse" I doubt it.
I didn't mean for that to sound like Clinton/Reagan were totally responsible for 9/11.Reagans actions in Beirut and Clintons actions in Somalia, as well as other officials, sent the message to terrorists that America will pull troops out areas as a result of terrorist attacks.When terrorists bombed the marine barracks in Beirut,killing alot of marines, what did Reagan do? He pulled out our troops.When they shot down the blackhawk and dragged bodies of our soldiers through the streets of Mogadishu, what did Clinton do? He pulled out our troops.Even though its against official policy to negotiate with terrorists, we have established a history of giving in, commit some terrible act, and America will leave.Bush on the other hand, is sending the right message, we won't back down.
