Former Bush Official Praises Nazis’ Respect For Laws Of War In Defending Gitmo

[damnedifIknow]

"A former Bush White House official on Thursday made the case that Nazi Germany had adhered to the laws of war during World War II when defending the Bush administration’s decision to open the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects. "

"Apparently, according to Fleischer, in order to follow the laws of war, all one has to do is wear a uniform and fight the enemy on a grassy field. But of course the Germans committed countless brutal and vicious war crimes during World War II. We’re assuming Mr. Fleischer knows this, but it’s striking how low he’ll go to defend the Bush administration’s failed and discredited security policies."

1. You know the best irony...

Ari Fleisher is Jewsh.

2. If the US,

and other powers were subject to International law, things would go much differently than they have.

For instance, Colin Powell, (just as an example) would have been tried for war crimes and we would possibly remember the day he was hanged.
