OK. I admit I never actually read the Geneva conventions. I can't quote provisions of it or tell you if torturing people caught in a guerrilla warfare situation is actually a violation of the conventions.

I find it amazing that with the current administration, we have people arguing on the internet about who exactly its OK to turture. Have we all gone insane? Torture is wrong. Period. The USA is not supposed to be one of the evil countries that tortures its prisoners.

Gonzales is a bad guy for writing legal memos that support torture. Is that specific enough for you?
