Rumsfeld, 548 U.S. 557 (2006), is a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that military commissions set up by the Bush administration to try detainees at Guantanamo Bay lack "the power to proceed because its structures and procedures violate both the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the four Geneva Conventions signed in 1949."[1] Specifically, the ruling says that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions was violated.<br /><br />The case considered whether the United States Congress may pass legislation preventing the Supreme Court from hearing the case of an accused combatant before his military commission takes place, whether the special military commissions that had been set up violated federal law (including the Uniform Code of Military Justice and treaty obligations), and whether courts can enforce the articles of the 1949 Geneva Convention</i>.desert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-69463124570225415422009-07-14T00:10:52.313-04:002009-07-14T00:10:52.313-04:00ash,

The ball is in your court. In an adult world, whinning does not constitute a refutation (although even college seniors try it, from time-to-time - as they do ad hominem, sissy slaps and pouting). Yes, ash, you are confused; and you may also be immature and intellectually dishonest.<br /><br />The leg work is yours. The apology will be mine if you prove me wrong. For a studious, erudite guy like you, this should be a walk in the park.<br /><br />As a lady once said to me, "This is not my first rodeo, Cowboy".<br /><br />By the way, ash, it will not come as a surprise to anyone here if you now suddenly disappear from the radar for several days...just as you did when confronted with the realities entailed in the murder of Neda.

All you need to do is suggest the day's topic - a couple of sentences will do - and the commenters will do the rest.<br /><br />The commenters here also have large reserves of expertise. Tap into it. Every day you should post a "suggestion box" and you can pick from those suggestions.
