[usa] people we respect and people we don’t

Do you respect Tommy Franks? Colin Powell? Then what do you make of the latter’s opposition to George Bush’s attempts to reinterpret Geneva Convention restrictions on the interrogation of prisoners? The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism," Powell said. "To redefine [a portion of the Geneva Convention] would add to those doubts." John D. Negroponte, director of national intelligence, warned that if the McCain version passed, the CIA would be forced to shut down its interrogation program. "If it goes forward as proposed, this will not allow for the CIA high-value terrorist detention program to go forward," Negroponte said. What do you think about this? Vote now, on the left sidebar.
