But the vice president defended the treatment of Guantanamo's detainees, saying they have been treated "in a human fashion" but do not "qualify" for treatment under the Geneva Conventions "because they are unlawful combatants (who) have not operated in accordance with the laws of war: they haven't worn a uniform, they target civilians."

Laws of war. Oh, that's a good one. Real funny. Like the laws we violated by invading Iraq? As for targeting civilians, I fail to see how bombing cities doesn't fall into that category, no matter what you hoped to accomplish.
