That's from Colin Powell's letter to Sen. John McCain, criticizing Bush administration efforts to abrogate United States adherence to Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention.
Colin Powell, probably the most respected soldier of his generation and one of the most respected (and popular) Americans, speaks out against the administration's policy toward terrorists in our custody. In doing so, he's echoing the opinions of leading military lawyers, present and retired, and at least one other retired Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Yet Bush, Deadeye Dick and Co. move along, undaunted and undeterred.
Time (long past time, really) for someone to point out that the emperor has no clothes--and no connection to reality, either.
The REALLY scary part is that these people get taken seriously by anyone.
