Gitmo rules revisited
Stardate 6052.75
It would seem that the Pentagon has revisited it's detainee policy after the latest Supreme Court ruling. The Geneva Conventions *do* apply to detainees... I wonder if this is an attempt to cover their asses after the latest video on the internet showing the two US soldiers being killed.
No matter, it is good news for the detainees, many of whom have been held for years without charge or trial, and some of which have been subjected to inhumane measures and torture. Guess if you want your own soldiers protected under the Geneva Conventions, you better suck it up and apply the rules to both sides...
