If nothing, nothing else, about our handling of the Iraqi war has pissed you off, our handling of Iraqi PoWs should. This story in the Observer. We are denying Iraqis visitation by the International Red Cross/Red Crescent to check on thier status and make sure that they're are being treated humanely. This is in direct violation of the Geneva conventions and would be more than enough to send us into some third world nation to blow them back to the fourth world if this was being done to our troops/people/citizens/whatever. It makes me sick, honest to God SICK, that we -- the government that "represents" me, represents YOU -- would even THINK of behaving this way. I have said it before, and I will say it again: Our country is heading into a very bad place indeed, pretty soon I fear it will become something that none of us would recognize...

From the article:

The International Committee of the Red Cross so far has been denied access to what the organisation believes could be as many as 3,000 prisoners held in searing heat. All other requests to inspect conditions under which prisoners are being held have been met with silence or been turned down.
