Why are the liberals getting so bent (we'll maybe just foreign liberals) over the passing of a law to define the treatment of prisoners of war,

Could it be because that law not only defines treatment of prisoners of war, it also defines (or, rather, undefines) just who those prisoners are?

Anybody (and I do mean anybody) that Bush and his sycophants dislike is now fair game, without recourse to legal assistance or constitutional protection. That includes you and me, not just those terrorists in Iraq with their weapons of mass destruction.

Hmmm... can a puppet have sycophants?
