My point is that we should be big enough to exceed human rights requirements, not just meet them, regardless of the absurd niggling they're pursuing over legal combatants and whatnot.
Completely agree with everything you're saying. You do right because it's the human thing to do, not because it's the legal thing to do. Unfortunatly "I had the right to" is a common mantra in the U.S. and our treatment of prisoners is mearly a natural extension of way most people here do things. Very sad. When will people learn that having the right doesn't make it moral?
