Recognizing the Power of the Courts, Finally
"The Pentagon memo released yesterday claimed, falsely, that its prisoner policies already generally complied with the Geneva Conventions - the sole exception being the military commissions created by President Bush and struck down by the high court.

What really matters is that Congress bring the military prisons back under the rule of law, and create military tribunals for terrorism suspects that will meet the requirements of the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions," writes the New York Times.
