context of the 1949 Conventions to deny them POW status.


You know, if I could speak Korean, I bet they argued along the same
lines as the Bush administration to keep our men imprisoned there long
after the war was over.

Declaing war on something that can not be defeated (drugs or terror)
is a great way to get that legal ground needed to do all sorts of fun
things as a dictator.
