We should not condemn the whole military but we need to keep in mind that a lack of respect for the Geneva Convention has been the policy of this administration. It is clear that Lynndie England was not properly trained and it sounds as though many other reservists were not even aware of the rules. It is ridiculous for a war justified on human rights grounds to be waged by soldiers who have not even been familiarized with the primary document regarding rights for soldiers.

It is not enough to discipline young, untrained reservists, whoever trained Ms. England has to go too.

And whether or not Rumsfeld goes, the Geneva Convention must be respected from now on or the U.S. Army will (fairly or unfairly) be known as hypocritical abusers of human rights.
