Guantanamo Bay - Geneva

"The Bush administration has agreed to apply the Geneva Conventions to all terrorism suspects in U.S. custody, bowing to the Supreme Court's recent rejection of policies that have imprisoned hundreds for years without trials.
The Pentagon announced yesterday that it has called on military officials to adhere to the conventions in dealing with al-Qaeda detainees. The administration also has decided that even prisoners held by the CIA in secret prisons abroad must be treated in accordance with international standards, an interpretation that would prohibit prisoners from being subjected to harsh treatment in interrogations, several U.S. officials said."

This is definitely good news. The holding of prisoners without trial should have never happened in the first place, but better late than never I guess. Finally maybe this ridiculous bantering between the White House and the supreme court will stop...scratch that, they'll find something else to argue over.
