From the New York Times, word that Bush's people are still making up new rules with international law:

A new legal opinion by the Bush administration has concluded for the first time that some non-Iraqi prisoners captured by American forces in Iraq are not entitled to the protections of the Geneva Conventions, administration officials said Monday.

Translation: Team Bush is again inventing its own right to Guantanamize people.  Read on.

The officials outlined the opinion on Monday in response to a report in The Washington Post over the weekend that the Central Intelligence Agency had secretly transferred a dozen non-Iraqi prisoners out of Iraq in the past 18 months, despite a provision in the conventions that bars civilians protected under the accords from being deported from occupied territories.

Translation: you thought we broke the rules?  Ha.  There are no rules.  We make the rules.

Whatever this election is to Americans, remember: to much of the rest of the world, it's a referendum on Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and unilateral action after a stream of lies.  If we say we're OK with all that, then that's what the world is gonna see.
