Scheuer said there had been a legal process underlying early renditions, but as more suspects were rounded up following the September 11, 2001, attacks, "all we've done is create a nightmare."

Where's the nightmare?? 550 POW's at Gitmo and another 150 "rendered" elsewhere. We're talking peanuts here. I think Scheuer is trying to capture a few minutes of fame. These are enemy troops out of uniform and should be shot after we extract all their information.

These are enemy troops out of uniform and should be shot after we extract all their information.

Which begs the question: Why doesn't the Administration make that clear in a language we can all understand?

For example, Condi can have a fashion show. "Here we are showing what we consider is the Official Uniform of the Al Quaeda soldier. A dingy dishdasha and a towel on their head armed with a duct-tape AK47. Anyone seen wearing this uniform is an enemy combatant.

Or, have UBL release a tape describing the new AQ uniform, and until he does, no raghead gets quarter or Geneva protections.
