Saw this on Talking Points Memo. Yesterday Cheney spoke at West Point, see his remarks here: Vice President's Remarks at the United States Military Academy Commencement. He mentioned the Geneva Convention and the US Constitution just once, in the same sentence, see what he said:
"As Army officers on duty in the war on terror, you will now face enemies who oppose and despise everything you know to be right, every notion of upright conduct and character, and every belief you consider worth fighting for and living for. Capture one of these killers, and he'll be quick to demand the protections of the Geneva Convention and the Constitution of the United States. Yet when they wage attacks or take captives, their delicate sensibilities seem to fall away."
So he thinks the Geneva Conventions only apply to non-killers we capture or only to people we don't capture? And he thinks we should ignore the Constitution when he thinks so. This man should not be Vice President, he's not qualified.
