<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> it's american soil, on cuba.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> and i think cuba signed up to the geneva convention. but i'm also</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> pretty sure that america did not sign up to the torture part. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>There is nothing in the convention that condones torture at least I do not think so. I was just highlighting the fact that the pictures are in fact in contravention to the Geneva convention. The press demanded these pictures as did some governments to put peoples mind at rest and all the time it was contravening the GC to release them. Who was wrong America for releasing them or us for demanding them. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Should these pictures have been taken. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>If the answer is yes then the GC is wrong and needs to be changed.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> i had an interesting article from the guardian i think sent </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> to me, which</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> basically called america a bunh of torturers over the fottage that was</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> shown. i can try and dig it up if your interested.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>People believe the press when it suits them. Today the Guardian is great tomorrow its full of shit. I personally take what most of the papers say as heresy and shit stirring. After reading several papers for a number of years I realised that every one of them had there own agenda's written by humans as impartial as a human can be. We all have opinions but my wages are not governed a writer/journalists wage is in some way based on what he rights so I would never describe it as impartial, he's only human. How many times have you read misinformed technical articles about software?</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> yeah, but you didn't see UKPlc bombing Ireland when the IRA </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> were in full</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> swing did you? OK, I know they did quite a few nasty things.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Give you ten points if you guess why not. American support would not allow us to have a heavy hand with the IRA. Every time the brits shot a terrorist the then US president felt the pinch from the voters. As far as the Americans where concerned the brits where suppressing there Irish cousins and the IRA bombs where justified. Now that peace is attainable through talk I am all for it but if it ever went back to them carrying out attacks like the Omagh bomb then without America's support the UK could be a little less tolerant and we all know from history that the UK is as ruthless in its wrath as any nation on earth.</FONT></P>
