 | | It is the wisdom of the people that we absorb when we go back home, and the wisdom of the people is very much needed to counteract the Washington conventional wisdom, which is very much stuck in a rut. | | | The Washington conventional wisdom says let us go after Whitewater, which is just a pebble in the stream, and that is what is happening. | | | Pat Buchanan's bombshell has shattered the smugness and serenity of Washington conventional wisdom. |

| | Not only are the prisoners not getting the required creature comforts — razors, nail scissors, etc. — they are being held in cells. | | | The Geneva Convention is built around the idea of detaining prisoners of war who are not suicidal terrorists, who are instead civilized men who — perhaps under duress — performed a service to their nation and are willing actually to surrender once they surrender. | | | That's a no-no, under the Geneva Convention: "Prisoners of war may not be held in close confinement except where necessary to safeguard their health and then only during the continuation of the circumstances which makes such confinement necessary." |
