22. I don't understand how this is legal. The word "combatant" is in both the Geneva and the Hague.
An "unlawful enemy combatant" is still a combatant. Why does it seem so easy to me to make a legal argument against Bush Co. A war crimes trial would be a slam dunk. But, the last 8 years have shown me that I am rarely on the same page as the majority of Americans.
