»In a draft memorandum to Mr. Bush in early 2002, he wrote that the fight against terrorism had rendered the Geneva Conventions "obsolete" in so far as those international accords safeguarded the way people suspected of terrorism should be interrogated. He also wrote that the conventions were "quaint" in that they afforded prisoners privileges like athletic uniforms and commissary rights.« [via NYT]

"He" ist Alberto R. Gonzales – »White House declined to release his middle name, saying that Mr. Gonzales prefers the initial« – und Bushs Kandidat für die Ashcroft-Nachfolge im Amt des Justizministers.
