We're not in Geneva anymore

As the Bush Administration and the extended Vast Rightwing Conspiracy gears up to preen and strut in vacuous condemnation of the videotaped Iraqi insurgent murder of an injured Bulgarian helicopter pilot, there's one thing they'll have to remember before they bravely man the keyboards: They can't argue the killing is a violation of the Geneva Conventions (which it is) -- because they themselves have argued that the Conventions do not apply in this context.

The insurgents are not "uniformed soldiers fighting for a conventional army," say the spinners. It'll be interesting to see which of them falls into the trap.
