[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"You know as well as I do that does not make the prisoners we take 'prisoners of war' in the legal sense of Geneva any more than Vietnam or Iraq were wars in the legal sense of the Constitution."</blockquote> So, let me make sure I've got this right. You are arguing that, because no war has been declared, the prisoners at Guantánamo Bay cannot, by definition, be prisoners of war. You cite Vietnam and Iraq as other examples of undeclared—thus, not—wars. By your logic, then, no American captured by an enemy force since 1945 has been a prisoner of war. I guess John McCain must feel like a real asshole, then, going around telling people that he was a tortured prisoner of war, when there wasn't even a war for him to be a prisoner of. [/QB][/QUOTE]
