Wes Pruden takes on both the Al Queda pirate prisoners and the smarmy Europeans.
George W. Bush was badly served by the wise men who dreamed up the harsh early rules for the military tribunals, which may or may not be used to deal with the prisoners of Guantanamo. These rules have been considerably rewritten to bring them in line with the demands of due process on which the nation was founded. We can trust this president to do the right thing, to make sure the prisoners of Afghanistan are treated with all the respect they deserve, which may be zilch, and with the rights our conscience demands, which will be sufficient. We need no tutelage from those whose simpering weakness and swaggering indecision treated the world to two great wars in a single century.
