Editorial: Going Too Far, Washington Post
 









Excerpts: (...) administration's refusal to hold hearings, as called for by the
Geneva Conventions, to determine whether captured fighters deserved
prisoner-of-war status (...). It extended to the president's assertion that he
could designate any American an enemy combatant and lock him up for as long as
he chose, (...). It includes his claimed right to kidnap people, (...) and to
hold them as "ghost prisoners," again indefinitely, without allowing the
International Committee of the Red Cross any access. (...) right to inflict on
detainees treatment that most people would regard as torture.
