Why does everyone think Bush changed his stance on allowing terrorists to be granted rights according to the Geneva convention, and calling them POWs? Why do you think he decided to tell the world that we have secret CIA prisons?

I don't know if they all qualify as scandals but it's certainly a list that Bush won't want to add any more items to. Last edited by WickedLou9; 09-07-2006 at 12:35 PM. | ||||

conservatives all over, such as myself, want to know why some in the media find it necessary to out many of our governments secrets, specifically military secrets in the time of a conflict. seems counterintuitive, not very smart, and certainly doesn't help our country much win whatever conflict we're in. sure, people might not agree with the conflict, but do they want us to lose? do they want to make it as hard as possible to win? | ||||
